In NPR's Morning Edition interview, "What happens if Trump can't pay the $454 million bond in his New York fraud case?" (NPR, March 20, 2024), managing partner Adam Pollock, a former New York assistant attorney general, explained Trump's difficulty securing an appellate bond. 

Pollock spoke with NPR's Michel Martin about the legal options available to New York attorney general Letitia James to enforce the judgement in the civil fraud case. "This is an extraordinary size judgement," says Pollock. "But the court found that there was an extraordinary fraud and levied an extraordinary result."
