Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
- In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.
- The late ruling from a panel of state Appellate Division judges, all appointed by Democratic governors, represents a significant victory and relief for the former president.
- Trump's legal team had previously stated that obtaining the larger bond was practically impossible. The court's decision also temporarily prevents the New York Attorney General's office from enforcing the judgment.
- Additionally, the court imposed a stay on the part of the initial judgment that restricted Trump from acting as a public officer of a company, as well as prohibitions on other individuals, although not all of Trump's requests were granted.

Yale Cohen, an Executive Vice President at advertising and public relations firm Publicis Media, joined X as head of brand safety and advertiser solutions.
- X has faced a challenging advertising business in the past 18 months since Musk acquired the company formerly known as Twitter. Criticism has also been directed towards the safety of users on X during Musk’s tenure. Many members of vulnerable groups such as the LGBTQ community have described X under Musk as toxic, with harassment and bullying largely unchecked.
- McRoberts will oversee the global safety team, responsible for developing new safety features and maintaining safety policies. The role has historically garnered significant attention and debate.
- Cohen and two additional hires under him will ensure that customers and brands on X continue to have a safe advertising experience. X has not yet responded to an interview request for McRoberts and Cohen.
