Trump Bond Filing Missing Financial Statement Returned for 'Correction'

The documents were rejected and 'returned for correction' after missing financial information.

Donald Trump filed new paperwork on the $175 million bond he posted Monday while the former president appealed a civil fraud judgment against him in New York after it was rejected this week and "returned for correction," according to a report.

The paperwork was missing a financial statement for the company underwriting the bond, Knight Speciality Insurance, and an attorney-in-fact.

They have now been added, the Independent reported on Thursday.

Trump submitted the bond on Monday after an appeals court last week reduced the amount from $454 million in his civil fraud case, preventing New York state officials from seizing his assets while he appeals the decision.

Knight Specialty Insurance, based in Los Angeles, is headed by Don Hankey, a Trump supporter.

"This is what we do at Knight Insurance, and we're happy to be able to accommodate the ex-president in this situation," Don Hankey told ABC News. "I'd say it's more of a business decision, but I happen to be a supporter also."

A judge found that Trump and executives at his real estate company lied about the worth of his properties on financial statements to secure more favorable loan conditions from banks and other companies.

The statements claimed that the former president's penthouse in Trump Tower was three times its actual size.

The judge ordered Trump to pay $355 million plus interest.
