New York attorney general could soon move to seize Trump’s property

Potential move could coincide with ex-president's Monday deadline to find $454m bond needed to cover civil fraud judgment

Attorneys in the New York attorney general's office have written to the state appeals court dealing with Donald Trump's punishment for business fraud to say that they should disregard the former president's claims that he cannot raise a bond to cover his massive fine.

Letitia James, the attorney general, could initiate action to seize Trump assets as soon as Monday, coinciding with Trump's deadline to acquire the $454m bond demanded to cover the civil fraud judgment during his appeal process.
