"Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay $83M Payment to E. Jean Carroll in Defamation Case"

A federal judge denied Donald Trump's request to delay an $83.3 million payment to E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of rape in the 1990s. The judge refused to relieve Trump from the financial burden, citing his slow response to the defamation case verdict. Trump's lawyers have challenged the judgment, arguing it will likely be reduced or eliminated on appeal. The judge noted that Trump's own actions led to his current situation and rejected the argument that ongoing litigation expenses constitute irreparable injury. Additionally, a separate state court case has ordered Trump and his companies to pay $355 million in penalties for inflating his wealth.
