While former President Donald Trump is in a New York courtroom Monday seeking to obtain a dismissal or delay of the "hush money" criminal case brought against him by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump notched a legal victory in a New York appellate court regarding the $454 million appeal bond he was due to pay by Monday.
Per initial reports, the appellate court reduced the requisite appeal bond to $175 million and extended the deadline for paying it by 10 days.
That's obviously some welcome news for the beleaguered former president, who is facing multiple court battles, both criminal and civil, as he attempts to campaign and win back the White House in November.
Trump, according to multiple sources close to former president, reacted to the ruling with a sigh of relief.
"We got what we wanted," one source told ABC News.
Thirty bond companies had declined to offer Trump a bond to cover the full $464 million judgment and were waiting for the appeals court to rule.
While $175 million is still a hefty sum, it appears likely Trump will be able to secure a bond to cover the reduced amount, which will allow his appeal of the civil fraud judgment to proceed.
This is a developing story. RedState will provide further details as they become available.
