'One of them is lying': Experts warn Trump his $500M claim directly contradicts lawyers

"Tump now claims that he has almost $500 million in cash, but his lawyers recently told the appellate court that he has no means to post a $454 million bond. One of them is lying, and you can expect the court to ask Trump’s lawyers about this," Mariotti wrote in a post to X.

The New York Times' Maggie Haberman also commented on the contradiction.

"Trump here appears to be saying he has the cash for the bond his folks have indicated he doesn’t have and therefore dozens of companies turned him down (and that he planned to self-fund the campaign, which is also a new claim)," she wrote.

Legal analyst Norm Eisen pointed out that Trump's own words may come back to haunt him.

"This is so dumb — now he can’t claim hardship to get a stay," he wrote on X. "AG Tish James can help herself, including to this supposed money!"
