| - FACT CHECK: Did A Russian Company Pay For Donald Trump’s Bond In His Case Against E. Jean Carroll?
An image shared on Facebook claims the Chubb Insurance Company of Russia purportedly bonded former President Donald Trump in his case against writer E. Jean Carroll.
Verdict: False
Trump was bonded by Federal Insurance Company, who is a principal of the Chubb Corporation, according to NBC News and Salon respectively. According to its website, Chubb has offices in multiple locations, including Zurich, London, New York, and Paris.
Fact Check:
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is willing to support Trump’s request to delay his Mar. 25 trial focusing on alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels, according to NBC News. Trump requested the trial be delayed 90 days, the outlet reported.
“This is the company that bonded Trump. Anyone surprised?,” text on the Facebook image reads. The image claims the Chubb Insurance Company of Russia bonded Trump in his case against Carroll.
The claim is false. Trump was bonded by Federal Insurance Company, according to NBC News. The company is a principal of the Chubb Corporation, according to Salon, who cited reporting from MSNBC’s legal correspondent Katie Phang.
Likewise, according to its website, Chubb has offices in multiple locations, including Zurich, London, New York, and Paris. Additionally, the image featured in the Facebook post originally stems from the Association of European Businesses’ website. According to the website, “Chubb Insurance Company of Russia is part of the Chubb Group of insurance and reinsurance companies. Chubb Insurance in Russia offers tailor-made insurance products secured by Chubb Group internal treaties to Russian clients having adequate Risk Management programs and requiring a western insurance product.”
Check Your Fact also found no credible news reports to support the claim made via the Facebook image. In fact, the opposite is true. Politifact debunked the claim in a Mar. 13 article. The outlet spoke with Chubb Ltd., Chubb’s parent company, who explained, “there is no connection between the government of Russia, Trump and Chubb.” Furthermore, the Chubb spokesperson said the company “stopped receiving revenue from its Russian operations after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022,” according to the outlet.

Trump also has not publicly commented on the claim made via the Facebook image.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan approved Trump’s $92 million bond in his case against Carroll on Mar. 12, The Associated Press reported.
Check Your Fact has contacted Chubb and Trump spokespersons for comment and will update this piece accordingly if one is received.
