A jury in January found Mr Trump owed the former columnist millions of dollars for defamation when he denied he sexually assaulted her.

A judge had rejected the former president's request for more time to secure a bond to cover the penalty.

Mr Trump also owes over $400m in a separate fraud case.

When posting the bond, Mr Trump asked to pause the verdict while he fights to reverse the decision in a separate court.
