"Trump's $91.6M Bond Payment in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case Raises Eyebrows"

Donald Trump posted a $91.6 million bond to cover the defamation verdict in favor of writer E. Jean Carroll and began his appeal of the case. The bond from Federal Insurance Co would cover Carroll's $83.3 million judgment if Trump were to lose his appeal and refuse to pay. The appeal stemmed from a Manhattan jury's conclusion that Trump had defamed Carroll by denying that he raped her in the mid-1990s. Trump faces a March 11 deadline to obtain the bond or set aside cash for the judgment after the trial judge refused his bid for a temporary reprieve.

"Trump's Legal Battles Escalate: Seeking Delay in $83M Defamation Verdict"

Donald Trump's lawyers are seeking to suspend an $83.3 million defamation verdict against him, arguing that there is a "strong probability" it will be reduced or eliminated on appeal. The verdict was awarded to advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually abusing her in 1996 and defaming her in 2019. Trump's lawyers claim the punitive award is "plainly excessive" and violates the Constitution and federal common law. They have requested the judgment be suspended until post-trial motions are resolved, or for Trump to post a bond for a fraction of the award.
