Trump's latest bible sale comes a day after he was granted a reduction in his hefty fraud bond and also given a deadline extension.

According to reports, a New York appeals court reduced the bond from $454 million to $175 million. The billionaire was also given a 10-day extension to find the money he needs for the bond.
