纽约法官亚瑟·恩戈隆周一裁定，前总统特朗普为对他的民事欺诈案中的3.64亿美元判决提出上诉而发行的1.75亿美元债券符合法律标准。
Why it matters: Approving the bond for the appeal will prevent New York Attorney General Letitia James from seizing Trump's assets or freezing his bank accounts while he fights the judgment.
为何重要：批准上诉保证金将阻止纽约司法部长莱蒂蒂亚·詹姆斯在对抗判决时没收特朗普的资产或冻结他的银行账户。
State of play: James requested earlier this month that Knight Specialty Insurance Company, which issued the bond, or Trump's lawyers, prove the company is financially able to perform under the bond.
现状：詹姆斯本月早些时候要求发行债券的奈特专业保险公司或特朗普的律师证明该公司的财务能力。
- The company isn't registered with the Empire State's Department of Financial Services.
- In a court filing Friday, James wrote that the defendants and the company had "failed to justify" the surety of the bond.
- James asked Engoron to void the bond and require Trump to post a replacement bond within seven days of the ruling.
- 该公司未在帝国大厦金融服务部注册。
- 詹姆斯在周五的法庭文件中写道，被告和公司 “未能证明” 保证金的担保。
- 詹姆斯要求恩戈隆宣布保释金无效，并要求特朗普在裁决后的七天内发行替代保证金。

- Knight Specialty Insurance Company has agreed to designate an agent of process in New York.

缩小：尽管特朗普迅速对判决提出上诉，但特朗普在被判负有金融欺诈责任后，最初被命令在该案中发行4.54亿美元的债券。
- The bond was later reduced to $175 million, which Trump posted at the start of the month.
- Billionaire Don Hankey, the chairman of Knight Specialty Insurance Company, underwrote the bond. Hankey had donated to Trump's previous campaigns.
- 该债券后来减少至1.75亿美元，特朗普在本月初公布了该债券。
- 奈特专业保险公司董事长亿万富翁唐·汉基承保了这笔债券。汉基曾为特朗普之前的竞选活动捐款。
