This order is to inform the monitor before even attempting to obtain a bond. I’m no expert on the law, but I think the monitor is there to watch and keep a record of the Trump Org’s actions, and not to pre-approve actions the Trump Org takes. In that vein, this order would be a departure from typical oversight, requiring a level of notice before even taking an action. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

Either way, I think it’s great to have eyes on this, and I imagine this is a direct result of Trump’s attorneys providing zero (0) evidence they’ve made any attempt to secure a bond
