With all eyes on Donald Trump’s criminal trial, attorneys for the former president on Monday quietly resolved a dispute over the structure of a bond he secured as part of the massive judgment levied against him in the New York attorney general’s civil lawsuit.
Andrew Amer, a prosecutor with the attorney general’s office, proposed five conditions that would satisfy the state’s concerns, including a pledge to maintain the bond account with cash, and a stipulation to grant the surety, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, exclusive control of the account. After a 20-minute break, Trump attorney Chris Kise agreed to the state’s proposed conditions.
