"As far as the Court can infer, sureties may have refused to accept defendants' specific holdings as collateral because using Mr. Trump's real estate will generally need 'a property appraisal' and his holdings are not nearly as valuable as defendants claim," (Dennis Fan, a senior assistant solicitor general for the state), wrote. Christopher Kise, an attorney for Trump, criticized James and the filing in a statement to CBS News, claiming they "misrepresent the facts and misconstrue applicable law in her political crusade against President Trump."

From the AJC link above: Prosecutors have asked that all the defendants be tried this August. But numerous factors make such a timeline highly unlikely.

Trump, others can appeal Fani Willis removal ruling, judge allows Judge Scott McAfee says he’ll continue work on other aspects of case 6 hours ago (20 MAR 2024 EDT) Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Wednesday granted permission for former President Donald Trump and seven others to appeal his recent decision that has kept District Attorney Fani Willis at the helm of the election interference case. McAfee issued a “certificate of immediate review,” which allows the defendants to appeal his ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals before a trial begins. It will be up to the appeals court to decide whether to take up the matter. “The requested motion is granted,” the judge wrote in a short order, which also makes clear he’ll continue to work on other matters related to the case in the meantime. “The Court intends to continue addressing the many other unrelated pending pretrial motions,” he added, “regardless of whether the petition is granted within 45 days of filing, and even if any subsequent appeal is expedited by the appellate court.” https://www.ajc.com/politics/breaking-fulton-judge-allows-trump-others-to-appeal-fani-willis-removal-ruling/Z7NZGYJVXRDGDFEBMCWPSTBIEQ/

Ms. Habba only made comments as to Trump's wealth in an opening statement in a non-jury trial. Not testimony sworn under oath. But if this is perjury, Judge Engoron musta missed it. This page has his phone number and email. Maybe you should give him a call and let him know. https://ww2.nycourts.gov/courts/1jd/supctmanh/judicial_assignments.shtml

Yes but he came up with the Chubb bond on the last day.

If Trump could show and pledge liquid assets for about $500 million they probably would. Right now he would seem to be about $200 million short.

Forbes has estimated his wealth for decades and estimates it at $2.6 billion as of 2024, with Trump making much higher claims. Trump received gifts, loans, and inheritance from his father. His primary business has been real estate ventures, including hotels, casinos, and golf courses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_of_Donald_Trump

That's OK. I only got into this after reading about the jury verdict in a non-jury trial.

I don't know. Ask maybe a Trump supporter.

This was a civil trial. Trump et al were found liable, not guilty. And he has 6 more days to maybe pull a rabbit out of the hat.

So what? There was no jury. And this was not a criminal trial so no guilty and no sentence. Judge in Trump's New York fraud trial explains why there's no jury By Graham Kates October 11, 2023 / 3:51 PM EDT / CBS News Former President Donald Trump did not request a jury for his New York civil fraud trial, but even if he had asked for one, the answer would've been "no," a judge said Wednesday. Judge Arthur Engoron addressed an issue that had been the subject of speculation on social media and by Trump himself, saying it "keeps coming up," even though he doesn't "read the papers or go online to read about" the trial. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-trial-no-jury-fraud-new-york-judge-arthur-engoron/

Ix-Nay. This was a 'bench trial' with no jury. It was a civil trial not a criminal trial so Trump et al was found liable, not guilty. From the actual 16FEB2024 Judge Engoron ruling: Decision and Order After Non-Jury Trial

Neither it seems to me are a lot of the Trump detractors

Prosecutors in Georgia have proposed a start date of Aug. 5, 2024, for the remaining defendants in the 2020 election interference case, including former President Donald Trump. https://www.npr.org/2023/11/17/1213895254/trump-georgia-proposed-trial-date No trial date as yet set by Judge McAfee.

Trump, co-defendants ask to appeal judge’s decision not to remove DA Willis 4 hours ago Attorneys for former President Donald Trump and seven co-defendants in the Fulton election interference case are asking a Superior Court judge for permission to appeal his recent decision that has kept District Attorney Fani Willis at the helm of the prosecution. The defendants on Monday requested that Judge Scott McAfee grant a so-called “certificate of immediate review,” which would give them permission to appeal his ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals before a trial begins. In particular they highlighted McAfee’s response to their argument that Willis’ comments during a recent church speech were considered forensic misconduct, a disqualifying defense. McAfee had called her remarks “legally improper” but said he felt his hands were tied due to a lack of guidance in Georgia case law. “Whether District Attorney Willis and her office are permitted to continue representing the State of Georgia in prosecuting the Defendants in this action is of the utmost importance to this case, and ensuring the appellate courts have the opportunity to weigh in on these matters pre-trial is paramount,” the group wrote. https://www.ajc.com/politics/trump-co-defendants-ask-to-appeal-judges-decision-not-to-remove-da-willis/33S4N62QL5FGZBERG33BPBY3HI/

Political strategists and legal experts view Trump’s two federal cases as more perilous, but it’s not clear they will happen before the election. The timing of all four (criminal) cases against Trump remain up in the air. “Any time the criminal defense has a postponement in a trial, it’s a good day for them,” said John Fishwick, a former federal prosecutor who has been following Trump’s cases closely. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/16/trump-legal-cases-new-york-delay-georgia/

William W. Taylor III, a veteran white-collar defense attorney in Washington, D.C., who has handled cases in federal and state court around the country, said that Mr. Trump was hardly the only defendant who wanted to delay a trial. “Anybody who’s got four criminal cases to contend with has four serious problems,” he said. “The last thing you want to do if you’re in the position of being a defendant in those things is to have any of them be resolved.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/nyregion/donald-trump-trial-delay-strategy.html

Updated 6:20 PM EDT, Fri March 15, 2024 The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in Manhattan has agreed to delay its start, injecting more uncertainty into the legal calendar for the former president. The trial had been scheduled to begin on March 25.

Headline today NY Times: Stalling: A Time-Tested Legal Strategy That Keeps Working for Trump A delay in the former president’s impending Manhattan trial date was just the latest example of his ability to bend his busy court calendar in his favor.

There is an article just now in the NY Times (where I am paid subscriber) entitled: Fani Willis Hangs Onto Trump Case, but More Turbulence Lies Ahead A fresh array of problems are in store for Ms. Willis and her prosecution of Donald Trump, one of the most significant state criminal cases in American history. But I'm not gonna post it because it is obvious click-bait.
