Judge Arthur Engoron said he wants the company to inform the court-appointed monitor in advance of "any efforts" to get a bond.

The judge who handed down a $464 million judgment against Donald Trump, his company and co-defendants in a civil fraud case has ordered the Trump Organization to keep the court closely informed about any efforts to secure a bond ahead of Monday’s deadline.

New York state Judge Arthur Engoron said Thursday that Trump's company needs to provide details to a court-appointed monitorabout attempts to obtain a bond that would stop authorities from collecting on the judgment while it appeals last month's ruling. The monitor, former federal Judge Barbara Jones, is to report regularly to Engoron.

"The Trump Organization shall inform the Monitor, in advance, of any efforts to secure surety bonds," Engoron said in his order, as well as "any personal guarantees made by any of the Defendants," which would include the former president.

The order — part of a larger ruling detailing and expanding the monitor's duties — comes days before the deadline for Trump and his co-defendants to secure a bond that would stop New York Attorney General Letitia James' office from being able to collect on the judgment while they appeal Engoron's ruling.

Fraud by itself may be enough to disqualify him from office.

It's insane that Trump could survive any of the things he said in 2016. The same people who thought Obama wearing a tan suit was horrible were fine with the pussy grabber.

While I agree that should be the case, what makes you think it will be? The Supreme Court just ruled the Constitution doesn't matter.

Yeah, you have a point. I was thinking about requirements for impeachment which is related to removal from being in office. I think the SC majority got theirs wrong and the minority is right. But they don't want to be part of judgements, ie their job, at least part of the time.
