New York Attorney General Letitia James was ready to seize Donald Trump's buildings and other assets if he couldn't pay his civil fraud fine, which on March 25 was reduced from $464 million to $175 million — plus he was given an extra 10 days to settle up. "If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets," James told ABC News's Aaron Katersky in March.
On April 1, Trump attorney Alina Habba confirmed that the former president had posted his $175 million bond, which secured his assets from seizure while he's appealing. "He looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal and overturning this unjust verdict," Habba said in a statement.
The move keeps his properties safe — for now.

It's one of Donald Trump's properties that was at risk of being seized by the state of New York.
In September 2023, a New York judge ruled that the former president and his adult sons — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — are liable for fraud for inflating the value of their family businesses in order to get better deals from banks and insurers.
Trump later ranted on social media about being "forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices…" before he eventually secured a $175 million bond to protect his properties while he appealed.

New York Attorney General Letitia James filed judgments in Westchester County against former President Donald Trump and his eldest sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, along with several of their companies.
The move would place liens on all properties that belong to the former president, his sons and the Trump Organization. The state would begin to seize assets from the former president if he is not able to post bond in the $464 million civil fraud ruling against him. It was later reduced to $175 million and Trump paid it on April 1, 2024.
