On Trump’s Carroll case bond.
1) The $91,63M surety bond is via Federal Insurance Company
2) FIC is a division of Chubb
3) The New York AG claimed Trump once personally misled a Chubb appraiser about the size of his triplex apartment pic.twitter.com/dLriKTkBfJ— Graham Kates (@GrahamKates) March 8, 2024
Meet Evan Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of the Chubb Group. Also appointed by Trump in 2018 to the Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations. Chubb posted the TFG’s bond. Always follow the money and the favors—always. Does Evan want to be Treasury Secretary? pic.twitter.com/EVe3S50pTw
