Former President Trump is facing financial challenges as he celebrates significant wins on Super Tuesday. Trump is requesting a delay to pay over $83 million owed in the E.J. and Carol defamation case, with the money due on Monday. Initially, he sought to post a bond of $24.4 million, a fraction of the total amount. The judge has yet to rule on his request for a 30-day extension after post-trial motions.
The recent filing indicates Trump's need for more time to organize his finances, hinting at potential difficulties in meeting the deadline. Despite being aware of the Monday due date for weeks, the former president seems to be struggling to secure the required funds promptly.
Moreover, Trump faces a larger judgment of $454 million in a New York civil fraud case, with the payment deadline set for March 25th. In this instance, his offer to post $100 million was rejected by an appellate judge, who mandated full payment by the specified date. An appeal has been made to an appellate court panel, which is expected to issue a decision by the end of the month.
Both cases highlight the financial pressures Trump is currently under, as he grapples with substantial monetary obligations and impending deadlines. The outcomes of these legal battles will significantly impact his financial standing and ability to fulfill these sizable payments within the stipulated timeframes.
