Brian Lira on WNYC, and today is the day. If you're Donald Trump, he's facing this deadline to post his

$454 billion bond in the business fraud case.

They say if he fails to meet this deadline by the end of today, New York's Attorney General

can begin the process of collecting the debt, which apparently is going to mean foreclosing

or beginning foreclosure procedures on his estate in

Westchester and his golf club in Westchester. Now, Trump's lawyers tried to secure the full

amount to halt collection efforts, but reportedly he was spurned by more than 30 underwriters.

Maybe they know Trump's record of not always paying back his

debts.

The impending deadline poses significant financial and legal challenges for the former president,

obviously, so we'll talk about that.

And we'll preview another impending legal woe for the 2024 presumed presidential nominee. A possible trial in the hush money case

long delayed may finally be in the offing, and there's a court date relevant to that. Today,

we think Trump might be showing up personally at that one. With us now, Catherine Christian,

these days a partner in the law firm Liston Abramson, here in New York,

and an MSNBC legal analyst, and a longtime Manhattan district attorney, ADA in that office

where Ms. Christian also supervised investigations and prosecutions of financial fraud,

conducted long-term wiretap investigations of multi-defendant international

criminalizations and more. Ms. Christian, always good to have you on the show. Thank you so much

for coming on again today.

So happy to be here, Brian. Thanks.

So does Trump have the money?
