NEW YORK (AP) — New York state lawyers are demanding more information on the bona fides of the $175 million bond that former President Donald Trump posted to block the imminent collection of a huge civil fraud judgment. State Attorney General Letitia James’ office filed papers giving Trump’s lawyers or the bond underwriter 10 days to “justify” the bond.

Trump lawyer Christopher Kise says the attorney general is embarking on what he calls “yet another witch hunt!”
