Donald Trump faced having assets seized in a humiliating blow to his carefully cultivated image as a self-made tycoon as his lawyers acknowledged Monday he doesn't have the cash to appeal a $464 million fine for fraudulently inflating his wealth. Trump -- the Republican candidate for November's US presidential election -- intends to challenge the judgment imposed by a New York civil court in February, which would force an automatic stay of enforcement. But first he must put the money into an account managed by the appeals court or post a bond in the full amount, and 30 insurance underwriters have rejected his pleas for assistance, his lawyers said in a new filing. «We will fight and defeat this Hoax,» Trump said in a vituperative statement Monday night, blasting the case as a «witch hunt» against him. His cash crunch raises the possibility that the state of New York could begin seizing the former president's property as soon as next Monday unless the court -- known as the First Department of the Appellate Division -- agrees to a delay. «Defendants have faced what have proven to be insurmountable difficulties in obtaining an appeal bond for the full $464 million,» Trump Organization general counsel Alan Garten said in a filing to the court. Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump and his company had unlawfully inflated his wealth and manipulated the value of properties to obtain favorable bank loans or insurance terms. Last month the judge ordered Trump to pay $355 million plus interest while his sons Eric and Don Jr. were told to hand over more than $4 million each. Trump managed to put together a separate bond earlier this month for $91.6 million as he appeals a sexual assault and defamation judgment in a lawsuit brought by New York writer E. Jean Carroll. But his lawyers said the leading bond providers all had internal policies preventing them from accepting real estate as collateral in the fraud case, and many would not exceed limits of $100 million. That leaves Trump with the only option of posting 120 percent of the bond in cash and cash equivalents totaling $557.5 million, including fees and interest. - 'Tons of CASH'? - As his lawyers laid out the problems with securing the bond, a defiant Trump raged in his statement against 2024 election rival President Joe Biden and those prosecuting the case, and even boasted of his entrepreneurial prowess. «I built a Magnificent Business, which helped rebuild New York City and State, with Amazing, Unparalleled, Historic Properties and tons of CASH, which Crooked Joe Biden and his Maniac Persecutors are trying to wrongfully and illegally take from me,» he said. The court-set bond, Trump fumed, «is unconstitutional, un-American, unprecedented, and practically impossible for ANY Company, including one as successful as mine.» Trump testified in an April 2023 deposition in the same case that he had «substantially in excess of 400 million in cash» -- but he had already developed a reputation by then for exaggerating his wealth. He has asked the appeals court to delay the deadline for posting the bond until his appeal has been heard, arguing his property empire is worth far more than the amount he owes. He also asked to be allowed to secure a bond in a lesser amount but New York Attorney General Letitia James has objected, arguing that he would «attempt to evade enforcement of the judgment or to make enforcement more difficult.» Even with a bond, Trump would continue to incur massive interest payments during what could be a years-long appeal, unless he deposits the full fine into a court-managed account. © Agence France-Presse

Fourteen bodies were found in an affluent suburb of Haiti's capital Monday, as international efforts accelerated to fill a political vacuum created by weeks of gang violence that has forced the impending departure of the prime minister. Local residents told AFP they did not know the circumstances of the deaths but said that the Laboule and Thomassin neighborhoods, in the suburb of Petion-Ville, had been under attack by what they said were armed criminals since dawn. Witnesses said gang members attacked a bank, a gas station and homes in the area. Gunfire continued to ring out in Petion-Ville in the afternoon. «They came wearing balaclavas in their cars, on motorcycles, with their own ambulance, then they massacred the population of Petion-Ville,» said local resident Vincent Jean Robert. «I was on my motorcycle when they arrived and started shooting,» a motorcycle taxi driver named Cadet told AFP, while adding, «We don't know if it's bandits or the police who were behind this.» He suspected that the victims were those who had been out late at night, «searching for something to eat for their children.» Amid the violence Monday morning, a judge narrowly escaped an attack on his home, a relative told AFP. Haiti has been engulfed for three weeks in a gang uprising by well-armed groups saying they want to topple Prime Minister Ariel Henry. Last week Henry agreed to step aside to allow the formation of an interim government, following pressure from neighboring Caribbean countries, including the CARICOM regional body, and the United States. The situation remains dire even as Washington voiced hope Monday that a transitional body to lead the country, set up at a crisis meeting a week ago, could be ready «as soon as today» -- though as of that evening nothing had been announced. «I understand that Haitian stakeholders are very close to finalizing membership and remain in active discussions with CARICOM leaders as it relates to the makeup of the Transitional Presidential Council,» State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters in Washington. «The announcement of this council, we believe, will help pave the way for free and fair elections and the deployment of the Multinational Security Support Mission,» he said, referring to a UN-backed, Kenyan-led force that aims to bring stability to Haiti. - 'Famine and malnutrition' - The council, which will include seven voting and two observer members representing a broad spectrum in Haiti and its diaspora, will be in charge of naming an interim government before elections, which have not been held since 2016. Ahead of a UN Security Council meeting on Haiti Monday, deputy US ambassador Robert Wood had told journalists that a decision on the make-up of the transitional council was «close.» After the closed-door session, Jamaican Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson Smith noted that talks «are progressing well,» though she added «it's a difficult process.» The Security Council meeting came as the United Nations announced that the first helicopter flights had begun in an air bridge set up between Haiti and neighboring Dominican Republic to deliver aid. UNICEF, the United Nations' children's agency, offered a bleak assessment of the situation in the country over the weekend, saying Sunday it was «almost like a scene out of 'Mad Max,'» and warning people were suffering «famine and malnutrition» with aid groups unable to gain access. That same day, a curfew was extended until Wednesday in the Ouest department, which includes Port-au-Prince. A state of emergency is set to end April 3. Several countries including the US and European Union member states have evacuated diplomatic personnel from Haiti due to the crisis.
