“Pony up”

Hi everyone it is 4 o'clock here in New York I'm Elie C.

Menendez in for Nicole Wallace at this hour the disgrace twice impeached

four times indicted ex president is staring

down a heart pounding deadline in T minus five days and eight hours

Donald Trump must pony up a nearly half a billion dollar bond in a civil fraud case or face the consequences

consequences that New York Attorney General Atticia James has said will include seizing

Trump's assets starting with his real estate empire.

That looming possibility appears to have sent Donald Trump into a downward spiral,

and an emergency fundraising text asking donors to help him quote

keep Tish James's hands off Trump Tower and now against that backdrop attorney general James is turning up the heat.

Pushing back on Trump's claim that they are having insurmountable difficulties getting the

bond and that getting one would be a quote practical impossibility in a brand new filing Chish James has

clapped back accusing Trump's team a faulty logic quote based on the false premise

that they must obtain a single bond from a single shortie for the

entire judgment of 464 million dollars. She suggests simply dividing the bond

into smaller chunks among multiple sureties.

She calls Trump's bluff on not wanting to do a fire sale to raise money, which the attorney general

says, would force her office to do the grunt work of liquidating Trump's assets.

And then she hits him where it really hurts,

suggesting that something does not add up

Bush and senior advisor for the McCain-Palin campaign, Nicolle Wallace provides political insight and clarity on where the decision-makers stand on complex issues.
