This will churn through the news cycle today (though right now I see MSNBC is still covering the Israel-slaughtering-Gaza talks and Blinken's visit to Israel today).

The Hill headline: Trump says he has $500 million in cash as lawyers say he can’t post $464M bond

There are mixed messages to parse:

Former President Trump claimed Friday he has nearly $500 million in cash, conflicting with messaging from his attorneys who claim he won’t be able to post the $454 million bond for his civil fraud case.

“THROUGH HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK, I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WHICH I INTENDED TO USE IN MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Trump criticized New York Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) who he said knew how much money he had on hand and set the penalty in that range on purpose.

Engoron ordered Trump to pay nearly $355 million in penalties plus interest after finding he conspired to lie about his net worth to receive favorable treatment from banks and insurers. The total sum is now worth more than $454 million with $112,000 in interest added each day.
