People of State NY v Trump
editRenwick served on the appellate court panel that granted a motion to lower Donald Trump’s bond in his civil case to $175 million. Additionally, this panel afforded Trump a ten-day stay, as well as allowing him and his family to resume business in New York state, which allows Trump to obtain loans from New York financial institutions. The appellate court’s decision received significant criticism among progressives and generated widespread bewilderment among legal scholars, who questioned the leniency exhibited by the court as well as the underlying motivations for such a decision.[4][5]
