Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : Engoron ordered Trump to pay more than $350 million, plus roughly $100 million in interest, which is still accruing.
39% : Trump, who built his reputation on his success in the business world, recently posted a $91 million bond to stay enforcement of an $83.3 million judgment against him in a 2019 defamation case brought against him by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.
33% : If Trump does not post a bond as he appeals the civil judgment against him, James's office could begin the process of seizing Trump's assets -- including major New York properties such as 40 Wall Street and Trump Tower.
33% : Fan wrote that New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who oversaw James's civil trial against Trump, decided Giulietti was not a credible witness.
27% : On Wednesday, Dennis Fan, a lawyer for James, told the appeals court that Trump's claims of striking out with insurance companies are not reliable because they are based on sworn statements from Gary Giulietti, a personal friend of Trump's, and from Alan Garten, general counsel at the Trump Organization.
26% : They argued that surety companies are generally unable to underwrite bonds that large, and said the companies told Trump they cannot accept real estate assets as collateral.
25% : Trump, his company, and several current and former executives -- excluding Garten -- were sued by James in 2022 for allegedly inflating the value of Trump's real estate and other assets by up to $2.2 billion a year from 2011 to 2021.
18% : Earlier this year, Engoron found Trump and the other defendants, including his adult sons, civilly liable for committing illegal acts and defrauding business partners by providing deceptive asset values.
