      Letitia James challenged the validity of the bond roughly two weeks ago.

      The challenge does not harm Trump’s bond but makes it so that the insurance company will need to show proof that they can pay it.

      The hearing will be on Monday.

          No, he is only required to attend criminal trials.

          The appeal bond is part of a civil case, not criminal. And appeals are not trials, so attendance is not required.
