Trump posts nearly $92 million bond in E. Jean Carroll defamation case

Former President Trump posted a nearly $92 million bond after a federal judge ordered him to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages for his defamatory statements. The bond size is greater than the judgment because the district court generally requires a party to post 110% of the bond. Trump is appealing the judgment but also faces a March 25 deadline to put up another $454 million in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case. Andrew Weissman and Melissa Murray are the authors of the new book, "The Trump Indictments: The Historic Charging Documents with Commentary.” They join AC360 to discuss their new book on the four criminal indictments the former president is facing. Plus, some angry Israelis are trying to stop humanitarian aid from getting into Gaza. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward visited Kerem Shalom, Israel’s sole functioning border crossing with Gaza. She tells Anderson Cooper who the protesters are and why they are trying to disrupt the critical aid convoys. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
