Former President Donald Trump has requested a New York appeals court to delay the $454 million payment he was ordered to make in his civil fraud case. This move is part of Trump's ongoing efforts to avoid paying the substantial penalty.
Trump's primary objective in seeking this delay is to buy more time as the deadline approaches for him to provide the required funds, either in cash or through a bond. By securing a delay, Trump aims to prevent the New York attorney general's office from taking action to enforce the judgment, which could involve seizing some of his properties.
