After a New York Appeals Court reduced the bond former President Donald Trump has to pay to appeal his civil fraud ruling, he has expressed readiness to post the reduced $175 million bond.

The appeals court ruled on Monday, just when Trump was to hit the deadline for the bond payment, that Trump should post $175 million in bond instead of the initial $545 million he was required to pay to appeal Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling which ordered him to pay a total of $464 million in penalty.

In the appellate court’s ruling, the deadline for the bond was also shifted to April 4, 10 days from the initial deadline.

In a post to Truth Social, Trump wrote, “This also shows how ridiculous and outrageous [Judge Arthur] Engoron’s original decision was at $450 Million. I DID NOTHING WRONG, AND NEW YORK SHOULD NEVER BE PUT IN A POSITION LIKE THIS AGAIN. BUSINESSES ARE FLEEING, VIOLENT CRIME IS FLOURISHING, AND IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS BE RESOLVED IN ITS TOTALITY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU!”

The GOP presumptive nominee also told reporters outside a Manhattan court where he appeared for his Stormy Daniels hush money case that he would be posting the $175 million in cash.

“Judge Engoron has done a terrible disservice to the State of New York… Businesses are fleeing, and crime is flourishing all over the state, and what he’s done is such a disservice and should never be allowed to happen again. New York State is being battered by his decision,” he stated.

“I greatly respect the decision of the Appellate Division, and I’ll post either $175 million in cash or bond or security or whatever is necessary very quickly, within the 10 days, and I thank the Appellate Division for acting quickly, but Judge Engoron is a disgrace to this country, and this should not be allowed to happen,” he also said.
