Judge Rejects Trump's Bid to Delay $83M Payment in E. Jean Carroll Case

A New York judge denied former President Donald Trump's request to delay paying more than $80 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll, who sued him for defamation after he made defaming statements against her in 2019. Trump's lawyer had requested a pause on the payments, claiming there was a strong probability the verdict could be reduced or eliminated on appeal. The damages include $65 million in punitive damages and $18.3 million in compensatory damages. This decision comes as Trump faces multiple legal battles and owes the state of New York more than $450 million.

"Smartmatic's $2.7 Billion Defamation Suit Against Fox Corp. Moves Forward"

Fox Corporation must face Smartmatic's $2.7 billion defamation suit, as ruled by a New York judge, while Smartmatic must also face Fox's counterclaims alleging the defamation claims are intended to suppress free speech. The judge denied Fox's motion to dismiss the defamation claims, stating that Corp. employees played an affirmative role in the publication of the defamation and acted with malice. However, the judge also denied Smartmatic's motion to dismiss Fox's counterclaims, which argue that the defamation claims were designed to quell free speech. This legal battle is part of at least eleven ongoing lawsuits over election conspiracy theories, and Fox Corp. is preparing to defend the case in trial, likely in 2025.

"Judge Upholds $10,000 Fine on Trump for Violating Gag Order in Fraud Trial"

A New York judge has upheld his decision to fine former President Donald Trump $10,000 for violating a gag order during his civil fraud trial.

Trump's lawyer argued that the statement was not directed at the clerk, but the judge disagreed, stating that it was "clear" Trump was referring to his clerk. The gag order was imposed after Trump shared the name and photo of the judge's top clerk on social media and suggested she was politically biased. Trump is accused of inflating his assets in the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney Letitia James.
