Donald Trump secured a $175 million bond to guarantee his civil fraud judgment during his appeal, likely saving him from having to pay a final penalty in the case until after the presidential election.

The former president obtained the bond through Knight Specialty Insurance Company, according to a filing Monday night. He now has gotten nearly $267 million in bonds for his appeals of two civil cases, including a $92 million bond to guarantee a judgment in a civil defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The appeals court hearing the civil fraud case is unlikely to rule until later this fall, meaning any financial penalties faced by Trump, who has clinched the Republican presidential nomination, are likely to come due after November.


U.S. to Impose Two-Person Crew Mandate on Freight Trains

Federal officials are planning to impose a mandate that freight railroads operate trains with two-person crews, adopting a policy that railroads have opposed and Congress failed to legislate.

The Department of Transportation and Federal Railroad Administration are expected to announce the new requirement as soon as Tuesday, according to people familiar with the matter.


Florida Abortion Rulings to Keep Issue Front and Center in November

A pair of decisions by the Florida Supreme Court are poised to help Democrats keep abortion rights top of mind for voters heading into November, when the party will try to hold on to the White House, its narrow Senate majority and retake the House.

On Monday, the state's highest court issued a ruling that clears the way for a ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy to take effect next month. In a separate decision, the state court approved a ballot measure that, if successful this fall, would undo that ruling and restore the broad abortion access the state had before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
