Eric Trump said top insurance executives laughed when he asked for more than $400 million in bond money for his father.
During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump to clarify how much his father owes in bond payments to appeal his New York fraud case.
"I'm trying to understand how this number came about, $454 million or $464 million, and what the real number is," Bartiromo said.
"You know what?" Trump ranted. "It was a crooked number. There are no victims. There is no number. The number should be zero."
"This is extraordinary," he continued. "No one's ever seen a bond this size. Every single person, when I came to them saying, hey, can I get a half-billion-dollar bond?"
"Maria, they were laughing. They were laughing. Top executives of the largest surety companies had never seen anything of this size. And what, they're going to start seizing assets if he can't put up something that's not available in the United States?"
