- Trump's latest "I can't pay" comes one week before a deadline in his New York civil fraud judgment.
- He can't afford to buy an appeal bond, his lawyers say.
- Footing the full amount is "a practical impossibility," they wrote Monday.
Former President Donald Trump cannot afford to post an appeal bond covering the $456 million he owes New York state from last month's civil fraud judgment, his lawyers said Monday in a court filing.
The filing said Trump had just one week to secure the $1 billion in cash reserves needed to persuade a company to write a $464 million bond to cover the judgments for the former president and his three fraud-trial codefendants.
