"Trump Mocked as He Posts $91.6 Million Bond in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case"

E. Jean Carroll mocked Donald Trump after he posted a $91.6 million bond to cover the defamation verdict against him, stemming from her sexual assault allegations. Trump's request to delay the $83.3 million payment was denied, and the bond posting means Carroll cannot collect while the appeals process is ongoing. Trump's spokesman called the judgment "baseless" and part of a Democratic "witch hunt," as Trump prepares to face Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

E. Jean Carroll's Lawyers Challenge Trump's Bid to Delay $83.3M Payment

Former President Donald Trump criticizes E. Jean Carroll's objection to his request to delay posting bond, arguing that her position is inconsistent given her previous claim of his wealth. Trump's lawyers seek a 30-day delay to post bond or cover the $83.3 million defamation trial verdict, while also challenging the size of the damages award. Trump's financial situation has become more complex, with a $454 million judgment against him in a civil fraud case, and his request for a stay on the bond timing being denied by an appellate judge.

E. Jean Carroll's Lawyers Push Judge to Deny Trump's Delay Request for $83M Judgment

E. Jean Carroll opposes Donald Trump's request for more time to post the $83.3 million judgment in her defamation trial, citing his lack of financial transparency and calling him the "least trustworthy of borrowers." Trump's attorneys have until Saturday to reply before the judge issues a decision, but Carroll's lawyers argue that Trump's financial and legal troubles could complicate his ability to satisfy the judgment in the future. This comes after a jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in damages for Trump's defamatory statements denying her rape allegations.

E. Jean Carroll's Lawyers Fight Trump's Attempt to Delay $83.3M Judgment

Attorneys for E. Jean Carroll objected to Donald Trump's attempt to pause enforcement of the $83.3 million judgment in the defamation trial, arguing that Trump's request for a stay without posting a bond leaves Carroll with no assurance of ever collecting the money owed to her. Trump's lawyers had requested a delay or permission to post a bond for a fraction of the total damages, but the court had previously declined to grant a stay without hearing from Carroll's lawyers. Carroll has vowed to use the judgment money for causes that Trump dislikes, including creating a fund for women who have been sexually assaulted by him.
