Former President Donald Trump is back in court in Manhattan on Monday ahead of two key decisions in his legal battles in New York City. 

Trump hit his Monday deadline to post a $464 million bond in his civil fraud case. He must turn up the money Monday or New York Attorney General Letitia James can begin seizing his assets, including numerous properties in New York and his bank accounts.  

“If there are bank accounts in New York, those can be frozen essentially immediately if she already knows where they are, and the turnover of the funds in a bank account would be measured in days or weeks,” Mitchell Epner, a New York litigator and former federal prosecutor, told USA Today.

Trump has appealed the decision.

“I’ll fight this all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary,” he said in an interview with Fox News. “They can’t take away your property before you’ve had a chance to appeal the decision of a Trump-hating, incompetent judge who has been overturned more than any judge in the state.” 

It is standard procedure in New York to allow the defendant to appeal the decision while at the same time ensuring the plaintiff can collect bond if the appeal is not successful. 

The deadline for his bond comes the same day Trump is appearing in court in his New York hush money case involving Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors alleged that Trump manipulated business records and violated campaign finance laws to pay Daniels not to talk about an affair they had.

According to the court documents in the hush money case, Trump “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election.” 

The hearing is to discuss the issues that will delay the case until at least April and whether or not the case should be dismissed. Upon entering the courtroom, Trump called the case a “hoax.”
