Hello everybody this is John Fawcett with the Great America Show midday

update for Monday March 25th. A New York appellate court ruled today that

President Trump no longer has to post that $454 million bond by tonight at

midnight. The court instead slashed that

number by almost a third, ordering that President Trump now has to post a

175 million dollar bond within 10 days. President Trump thrilled by the

news and spoke to the press after his court hearing.

He said what Judge Arthur Engron did to him and his organization should have never happened

and should never happen to another person in this country ever again.

Thank you very much.

Jen Gorin has done a terrible disservice to the state of New York.

What he's done is terrible business is a fling.

You see that, and you just release the statement on truth.

Businesses a fling and crime is flourishing all over the state and what he's done is such

a disservice and should never be allowed to happen again.

New York State is being battered by his decision.

So I greatly respect the decision of the appellate division and I'll post either $175 million in cash or bonds or

security or whatever is necessary very quickly within the 10 days, and I thank the appellate division for acting quickly.

But Judge Inghurin is a disgrace to this country, and this should not be allowed to happen. Thank you very much.

The $175 million bond is still in excess of the norm, however.

To put it in perspective, Bernie Madoff, who defrauded 37,000 victims, running the largest Ponzi scheme in the history of this country, only had

a post a $10 million bond.
