Trump case of attempted election fraud in 2020 has been put on hold

Nanna Nørby Hansen


Former US President Donald Trump and his lawyers will now have more time to prepare an appeal.

The judge in a federal trial against him, Tanya Chutkan, has decided to pause it, writes Reuters.

Trump is accused of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election and is scheduled to go to trial next March. However, he will appeal the judge's earlier refusal to dismiss the lawsuit.

Originally, Trump had asked the judge to dismiss the case, as the ex-president claims he is immune from being prosecuted for his actions while he was president.

"This is a great victory for President Trump and our law and order," Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement.

'They've gone deep': Jack Smith has 'sprawling' evidence against Trump, CBS discovers

CBS correspondent Robert Costa said his sources revealed that special counsel Jack Smith has a more "sprawling" case against Donald Trump than previously thought.






Costa reacted to news that the Supreme Court had given Trump a minor win by refusing Smith's petition to decide on the former president's immunity claims immediately.


"As I look ahead as a reporter, the campaign is going to come back again and again, likely to the high court, and how it's going to consider Trump's conduct in and around January 6th," Costa said. "Whether it's the immunity question, whether it's about the January 6th defendants who have their cases coming before the Supreme Court, whether it's about how the court's going to proceed if Trump's convicted in the special counsel case."


Costa said the question would be whether Trump conspired against the United States government.

"Based on our reporting at CBS News, the special counsel has phone records," he explained. "He has memos and diary entries from key witnesses, like former Vice President Mike Pence, key eyewitness testimony from people who are inside the Oval Office with Trump."


"But they had something in the special counsel's office the January 6th Committee never had, which is subpoena power to really go deep with witnesses and not just get public testimony and some depositions," he added. "They've gone deep. And I've talked to people who participated in this investigation as lawyers, sometimes even as witnesses."

"And it's evident to me, based on my conversations with sources, that Jack Smith has a sprawling case against former President Donald Trump," he concluded.


CBS correspondent Jan Crawford predicted that the high court would eventually strike down Trump's claims of presidential immunity.


"They are not going to rule that he is immune from criminal prosecution," she observed. "And I don't think it's even going to be close. It could be 9-0."

Trump fails to secure bond for $454M judgment in civil fraud case as asset seizures loom

Donald Trump's efforts to secure a bond to cover a $454 million judgment in a New York civil fraud case has been rejected by 30 surety companies, his lawyers said on Monday, inching him closer to the possibility of having his properties seized.


The former president must either pay the sum out of his own pocket or post a bond to stave off the state's seizure while he appeals Justice Arthur Engoron's Feb. 16 judgment against him for misstating property values to dupe lenders and insurers.


Trump, two of his adult children and other Trump Organization executives had so far approached the 30 companies through four separate brokers without success, his lawyers said. The other defendants face judgments totaling $10 million.


A bonding company would be on the hook for any payout if Trump loses his appeal and proves unable to pay.


The case, brought by New York state Attorney General Letitia James in September 2022, is one of several legal travails the businessman-turned-Republican candidate faces as he seeks a Nov. 5 election rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.


Trump, 77, has denied wrongdoing and vowed to appeal the judgment, which threatens his family's real estate empire.


He must post cash or a bond within 30 days of Engoron's formal entry of the order on Feb. 23 or risk the state seizing some of the Trump Organization's assets to ensure James can collect. Thirty days end on March 25.


In a court filing on Monday, Trump's lawyers urged a mid-level state appeals court to delay enforcement of the judgment, arguing the amount was excessive. It was unclear when the court, known as the Appellate Division, would rule.


The lawyers asked that Trump instead be allowed to post a $100 million bond while he appeals the judgment.


Gary Giulietti, an executive with insurance brokerage the Lockton Companies hired by Trump to help get a bond, wrote in the court filing that a bond for the full $464 million is not possible under the circumstances presented.


Giulietti said many sureties would not issue bonds above $100 million and were willing to accept only cash or securities - not real estate - as collateral.


"Enforcing an impossible bond requirement as a condition of appeal would inflict manifest irreparable injury on Defendants," Trump's lawyers wrote.


Before a three-month, non-jury trial began in October, Engoron found Trump had engaged in fraud by overvaluing properties including his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, his penthouse apartment in Manhattan's Trump Tower, and various office buildings and golf courses.


The trial dealt mostly with damages. In the Feb. 16 decision, Engoron wrote that Trump and the other defendants "are incapable of admitting the error of their ways."


Trump this month posted a $91.6 million bond to cover an $83.3 million defamation verdict for the writer E. Jean Carroll while he appeals, in a case that arose from his branding her a liar after she accused him of raping her decades ago. He has denied wrongdoing.


He has also pleaded not guilty in four criminal cases stemming from his efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Biden, his handling of government documents after leaving office in 2021, and hush money paid before his 2016 election win to a porn star who said she had a sexual encounter with him.

Donald Trump gets ten more days to pay million-dollar bail

Former US President Donald Trump is now being given a lifeline to post bail in fraud cases.

An appeals court in New York has ruled that Donald Trump will have ten more days to pay the million-dollar bail he has been ordered to pay.

In ten days, he will have paid $175 million, CNN and Reuters news agency reported.

This is therefore significantly less than the ex-president was previously ordered to pay.

Trump was convicted in mid-February of inflating the value of his family business, the Trump Organization, and ordered to pay $464 million.

The Court of Appeals has also ruled that Donald Trump and his son can continue to do business in New York and take out loans.

On his own social media site, Truth Social, Trump said he would abide by Monday's decision by the appeals court.

He said today's ruling showed that the original demand for $450 million was "ridiculous and outrageous."

Should provide millions today


Donald Trump thus gets something of a lifeline from the Court of Appeals in New York.

He should otherwise have provided the $464 million - by today.

Letitia James, New York's state adbotary, had threatened to seize Donald Trump's assets in the state if the bail was not paid today. This would mean that he could also risk losing his skyscrapers in the metropolis.
