US Court Rejects Trump's Request to Postpone Fine Enforcement for 'Fraudulent Loan' Case
On the 28th (local time), a U.S. court dismissed former President Donald Trump's request to stay the enforcement of a fine totaling approximately $454 million (about 605.1 billion KRW) after he posted a bond equivalent to 25% of the total fine amount.
According to U.S. media, Judge Anil Singh of the New York appellate court rejected Trump's request to postpone the obligation to post bonds exceeding the imposed fine amount until the appeal ruling is made. Trump's legal team submitted documents to the appellate court stating they would post bonds worth $100 million, but foreign media reported that the judge rejected this proposal.
