Barron Trump, the youngest son of former President Donald Trump, made a rare public appearance alongside his father and mother, Melania, during an Easter brunch at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday (March 31).
Barron, 18, who is reported to be 6-foot-7, towered over his 5-foot-11 ex-model mother in videos and photos taken at the Palm Beach, Florida, estate. The teenager was last seen publicly attending the funeral services of his grandmother, Amalija Knavs, in January.
Former President Trump shared a message on his Truth Social account wishing his followers a "Happy Easter" while also throwing jabs at the Justice Department prosecuting and overseeing his four ongoing criminal cases.
“HAPPY EASTER TO ALL, INCLUDING CROOKED AND CORRUPT PROSECUTORS AND JUDGES THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO INTERFERE WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2024, AND PUT ME IN PRISON, INCLUDING THOSE MANY PEOPLE THAT I COMPLETELY & TOTALLY DESPISE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DESTROY AMERICA, A NOW FAILING NATION, LIKE ‘DERANGED’ JACK SMITH, WHO IS EVIL AND ‘SICK,’ MRS. FANI ‘FAUNI’ WADE … AND LAZY ON VIOLENT CRIME ALVIN BRAGG …,” he wrote.
Trump and his co-defendants reportedly secured the reduced $175 million bond in an ongoing New York civil fraud case, according to a court filing obtained by ABC News on Tuesday (April 2).
The bond was reportedly secured through Knight Specialty Insurance Company, which is owned by Hankey Group, a privately held company whose chairman, Don Hankey, told ABC News that he considers himself a supporter of Trump.
"This is what we do at Knight Insurance, and we're happy to be able to accommodate the ex-president in this situation," Hankey said. "I'd say it's more of a business decision, but I happen to be a supporter also."
Hankey claimed his company was initially in discussions to underwrite the original $464 million bond set in the case before it was reduced to $175 million by a New York appellate court last week. Trump's attorney, Alina Habba, said he "posted bond" in a statement shared Monday (April 1) evening.
"As promised, President Trump has posted bond," Habba said via ABC News. "He looks forward to vindicating his rights on appeal and overturning this unjust verdict."
