Donald Trump isn’t off the hook, according to New York Attorney General Letitia James.

On Monday, a New York appeals court agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump's more than $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

In a statement from James on Monday afternoon, she declared, "Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud.

"The court has already found that he engaged in years of fraud to falsely inflate his net worth and unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization. The $464 million judgment — plus interest — against Donald Trump and the other defendants still stands," James' statement added.

On Feb. 16, James had declared a "massive victory" in her case against Trump for civil fraud "to enrich himself."
