underwriter

However, after failing to find an underwriter to secure his massive bond amount, an appeals court allowed Trump to post only $175 million.

“I’m hoping that this week is just peaceful, that there’s no violence that’s going on. There’s no place for it,” said Amy Yetson, a 47-year-old life insurance underwriter who is a registered Democrat.

State Attorney General Letitia James’ office filed papers giving Trump’s lawyers or the bond underwriter 10 days to “justify” the bond — essentially, to show that the company can make good on it.

A message seeking comment was left for the underwriter, Knight Specialty Insurance Co.

But “justifying” generally means demonstrating that the underwriter is financially sound and able to pay the bond amount if the judgment is upheld.
