Fordham Law Professor Jerry Goldfeder is quoted in a New York Post article discussing what’s next for former President Trump as he appeals fraud judgement.
Jerry Goldfeder, a professor at Fordham Law School and senior counsel at the Cozen O’Connor law firm, told The Post that the First Department wanted to give the former commander-in-chief the opportunity to exercise his right of appeal.
“It appears that the court accepted Trump’s excuse that he could not post the entire amount and wanted to give him the opportunity to post a bond so that his appeal would not be an academic exercise,” Goldfeder explained.
Goldfeder, the Fordham professor, cautioned against reading too much into the First Department’s lowering of the bond, noting it doesn’t necessarily mean that the court will ultimately rule in Trump’s favor on appeal.
“It only means the appellate court is giving him the opportunity to appeal,” he said.
