After Donald Trump posted a bond of nearly $92 million on Friday as he appealed the jury's verdict in E. Jean Carroll's civil defamation case, legal analyst Andrew Weissmann warned on Sunday that the former president may be "beholden" to people behind the bond.

Trump, the likely GOP nominee in the 2024 presidential race, was ordered in January to pay $83.3 million to Carroll, a former Elle columnist, for damaging her reputation after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. A separate jury last year awarded Carroll $5 million from Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in those cases and said they were politically motivated.

The $91.6 million bond, which Trump posted on Friday, consisted of the $83.3 million judgment, along with statutory interest added by the State of New York. The bond was secured by the Federal Insurance Company, a part of insurance company Chubb Corporation. The bond has since sparked speculation over why the Federal Insurance Company decided to guarantee Trump's bond and who within the company made the decision.

In an interview on Sunday on MSNBC's Inside with Jen Psaki, Weissmann, the former general counsel for the FBI who also served as lead prosecutor in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Trump's 2016 campaign, discussed the former president's civil judgements.

"This is an example of running not just as an outsider, but as an outlaw...The concern in these civil cases with these civil judgements is who is the candidate beholden to. Is he somebody who is going to be making policy and being differential to people who have put up money?" Weissmann asked.

He later added: "There is a simple way of looking at this, is that he has $450 million reasons to be differential if somebody else is putting up the money or co-signing...That issue of who is actually behind this is something that people who are voting should know."

Newsweek has reached out to Trump's spokesperson via email for comment.

The former president owes further payments in New York after a civil fraud trial judgment was imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron. Trump was recently fined roughly $355 million, plus interest, in his New York civil fraud case, which accused him, his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, The Trump Organization and two firm executives of fraudulently overvaluing assets to secure more favorable bank loans and taxation deals. Trump has maintained his innocence in the case, which was brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, and also claimed it was politically motivated, vowing to appeal the verdict in that case as well.

Meanwhile, Chubb chairman and CEO Evan Greenberg has history with Trump, having been appointed in 2018 to his Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations during his presidency. The Washington Post recently reported it is "not clear from court records what collateral Trump presented to obtain the bond from Chubb."

In a previous statement sent to Newsweek, Chubb said: "As a matter of policy, we do not comment on client-specific information. Our surety division provides appeal bonds in the normal course of business. These bonds are an ordinary and important part of the American justice system, protecting the rights of both defendants and plaintiffs. This guaranty provides peace of mind as a plaintiff awaits finality in the appeals process. The surety receives full collateral from the defendant in exchange for issuing the bond," Chubb said.

It added: "For plaintiffs, appeal bonds ensure that they will receive the damages when an award is confirmed on appeal, eliminating the need to chase a defendant for payment. This guaranty provides peace of mind as a plaintiff awaits finality in the appeals process. The surety receives full collateral from the defendant in exchange for issuing the bond."

Steve Bannon Suggests Donald Trump Has Been Bought

Steve Bannon, the one-time adviser to Donald Trump, suggested on Saturday that the former president was paid off after a shift in stance on TikTok.

TikTok, the immensely popular video-sharing app known for its predominantly young audience, has once again come under scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers. The app is currently owned by Chinese tech company, ByteDance, which has spurred significant suspicion that its abundance of user data is being furnished to the Chinese government.


While ByteDance and TikTok have dismissed these accusations, lawmakers have continued to consider their options. A bipartisan bill put forward by members of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party last week would work to "incentivize divestment of TikTok" by ByteDance by blocking it from appearing in American app stores and granting Executive Branch authority to take similar action in the future against social media companies operated by a "foreign adversary."

Lawmakers on the House Committee on Energy & Commerce advanced the legislation last week in a 50-0 bipartisan vote to the full U.S. House of Representatives. TikTok, meanwhile, characterized the bill as a ban, and urged users to encourage their local representatives to block it.

Despite his past stances in favor of action against TikTok for its Chinese ties, Trump, the leading candidate for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, wrote in a Truth Social post on Thursday that he opposed the recent bill, citing his oft-repeated false claims about widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

"If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck [CEO Mark Zuckerberg] will double their business," the former president wrote. "I don't want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!"

In response to this post, reports noted that the seeming shift in stance from Trump came after a meeting with Jeff Yass, a conservative hedge fund manager who has a $33 billion stake in TikTok. Yass, according to Intelligencer, has been allegedly threatening to pull support from GOP lawmakers who back the bipartisan divestment bill.

Bannon, who led Trump's successful 2016 presidential campaign and served as a White House adviser for the first several months of Trump's presidency, took to Gettr to make his suspicions about the situation clear.

"Simple: Yass Coin," he wrote in a post that included a link to an Axios story about Trump's flip on TikTok.

Newsweek reached out to Trump's office via email for comment on Saturday afternoon. Any responses received will be added to this story in a later update.

In August 2020, Trump issued an executive order ordering ByteDance to sell its U.S. assets and destroy all data within 90 days.

"There is credible evidence that leads me to believe that ByteDance Ltd.... through acquiring all interests in musical.;ly...might take action that threatens to impair the national security of the United States," the order read.

Who Is Evan Greenberg? Businessman Connected to Trump's Bond
Published Mar 11, 2024 at 12:53 PM EDT

Reporter, Economy & Finance

A former member of the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations under the Trump administration, Evan G. Greenberg, heads Chubb Ltd., an insurance company that guaranteed the former president's $91.6 million bond in his defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll.

Greenberg, a veteran of the insurance industry with a notable tenure in global economic and environmental boards, oversees a company providing commercial, property, casualty, personal accident and other forms of insurance, even extending to providing financial instruments within the legal system to former presidents.


Chubb, through its Indiana-based subsidiary Federal Insurance Company, offered Trump the bond as a procedural aspect of legal appeals, the company told Newsweek, emphasizing its role in facilitating the judiciary process.

"Our surety division provides appeal bonds in the normal course of business," Chubb said in a statement provided to Newsweek on Saturday. "These bonds are an ordinary and important part of the American justice system, protecting the rights of both defendants and plaintiffs. For defendants, appeal bonds ensure the opportunity to exercise the right to appeal an adverse judgment, which might otherwise be lost in the absence of a bond.

"For plaintiffs, appeal bonds ensure that they will receive the damages when an award is confirmed on appeal, eliminating the need to chase a defendant for payment. This guaranty provides peace of mind as a plaintiff awaits finality in the appeals process. The surety receives full collateral from the defendant in exchange for issuing the bond."


Newsweek reached out to Chubb Ltd. and Trump's campaign by email for comment on Monday morning.

The chairman of the National Committee on United States-China Relations and a director at the U.S.-China Business Council, Greenberg is a known figure in the international business community with a deep-rooted family legacy in the insurance industry.


Son of Maurice Greenberg, the former chairman and CEO of American International Group (AIG), and the younger brother of former Marsh & McLennan CEO Jeffrey Greenberg, Evan has continued the family's presence in the global insurance sector.

While Greenberg may not be directly involved with the bond, Chubb's role in securing Trump's bond coincides with a period of remarkable financial success for the company.

Last month, and under Greenberg's leadership, Chubb reported its best earnings following a year of record growth and profitability.


"We had a record fourth quarter, which contributed to a blowout year—the best in our company's history," Greenberg informed investors in its earnings statement.

The period saw Chubb achieve double-digit premium growth globally, along with record property and casualty underwriting income.

At a rally in Georgia on Saturday, just one day after attorney Alina Habba notified the New York judge that a bond had been secured, Trump condemned the ruling, saying, "sometimes, it's not good to be rich."


"I just posted a $91 million bond on a fake story," the former president said at the rally, not explaining to the crowd that the money for the bond came from Chubb. "Totally made-up story. Think of it, $91 million. I could say things about what it would cost normally. Ninety-one million, based on false accusations made about me by a woman that I knew nothing about."

The Background
Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, thrust Trump into the legal spotlight with allegations of sexual assault dating to the mid-1990s. Carroll's accusations became the centerpiece of a defamation lawsuit against Trump in which she claimed he defamed her by denying her allegations of rape in a New York department store dressing room.

In an emotionally charged trial, a jury in May of last year found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $83.3 million in damages.


Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing, framing the lawsuit as politically motivated, especially given his prominent position as the GOP front-runner for the presidential race this year.

His denials, however, did not sway the jury, leading to the necessity of posting a $91.6 million bond to appeal the verdict.

The appeal bond, guaranteed by Chubb, ensures that Carroll can potentially receive the awarded damages should the appeal confirm the initial verdict. However, according to MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin, if the appeal fails, Trump may need to raise even more money from a different entity.


"[The bond] only covers the appeal to the Second Circuit, it doesn't cover any appeal that he would take from the Second Circuit if it affirms the jury's verdict of $83.3 million," Rubin said. "If he appeals further to the Supreme Court, he's going to need somebody else to come and step in and provide that security if he takes that appeal further. Otherwise, he will owe her that money within a certain number of days following an [affirmation] by the second circuit."

If the appeal is unsuccessful and Trump seeks to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, the responsibility to secure a bond would then shift away from Chubb, Rubin said.

"Let's just say for the sake of argument that Donald Trump loses at the second circuit and he chooses not to take an appeal to the United States Supreme Court," Rubin said. "At that point, either Trump pays, or following around 60 days, Chubb itself will pay. But, if [Trump] wants to go to the Supreme Court after losing at the second circuit, he's going to have to find somebody else to help provide that security."

Donald Trump Faces Critical Deadline in E. Jean Carroll $83.3M Payment
The $91.6 million bond, which Trump posted on Friday, consisted of the $83.3 million judgment, along with statutory interest added by the State of New York. The bond was secured by the Federal Insurance Company, a part of insurance company Chubb Corporation.

On Monday, Carroll's lawyer wrote in a letter to Judge Lewis Kaplan that they don't oppose Trump's proposed $91.6 million bond but that it is subject to a small change to one of the terms.

The change reduces the amount of time between the resolution of Trump's appeal and Carroll's payment from an overall 60 days to 30 days.

Newsweek has reached out to Carroll's lawyer and Trump's lawyer via email for comment.

"While we did have one limited objection concerning the timing of payment to the bond that Defendant has posted in connection with his motion to stay enforcement of the judgment pending appeal, the parties have discussed the issue," Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's lawyer, wrote.

"As a result of those discussions, Federal Insurance Company has authorized and Defendant's counsel will agree to stipulate that the 30-day periods listed on page 3 of ECF Doc. 318-1 will be shortened to 15 days, both for the Principal and the Surety. This will have the effect of shortening the overall window to 30 days."

It means that if Trump loses his appeal, instead of having 30 days to send Carroll's payment plus an extra 30 days after a notice was sent, the former president will have just 30 days total to send Carroll's payment.

Joyce Vance, a former U.S. attorney who was nominated by President Barack Obama and is a Trump critic, previously called the 60-day payment deadline provision "unusual."

Writing in her Civil Discourse blog on Monday, Vance said: "There is an unusual provision in the bond that would give Chubb 60 days from the date final judgment is entered in Carroll's favor [if she wins on appeal] to make payment to her. If Trump loses his appeal and doesn't pay the money, Chubb must tender the full amount. They can collect from Trump in turn, but doing that would be their problem.

"This is good news for E. Jean Carroll because the bond guarantees that the judgment will be paid if she prevails on appeal."

At a campaign rally in Rome, Georgia, on Saturday, Trump said that Carroll has made "false accusations" against him. He also railed against the bond he had to pay.

"I just posted a $91 million bond, $91 million on a fake story, totally made-up story," he said.
