Federal Appeals Court Blocks Trump's $83 Million Payment to E Jean Carroll
In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged that Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s but she could not name the date or even the year this allegedly took place.
The court sided with Carroll anyway, with no evidence.
Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a "whack job" who's "not my type."
The jury decided that E. Jean Carroll did not prove that Trump raped her.
However, the jury said E. Jean Carroll proved Trump sexually abused her when he 'inserted fingers into her vagina.'
A Manhattan jury reached a verdict in the E. Jean Carroll rape/defamation case in May 2023 and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million.
An appeals court in 2024 upheld E. Jean Carroll's $5 million judgment against President Trump.
In a separate defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, In January 2024, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll.
Trump's efforts to assert immunity over his 2019 statements about E. Jean Carroll were rejected.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked Trump's $83 million payment with conditions.
NBC News reported:
A federal appeals court ruled this week that President Donald Trump doesn't need to pay an $83 million defamation award to writer E. Jean Carroll until the Supreme Court either reviews the case or decides to pass on it.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York issued the order Monday after Trump asked it to pause its earlier ruling denying him a chance to challenge the defamation award before the full appeals court.
The court granted Trump's request to pause that ruling, citing no objection from Carroll so long as Trump agreed to raise the bond by $7.46 million to account for interest that would accrue on her award during further legal proceedings that are expected to extend to the Supreme Court.
"We are pleased that the Second Circuit conditioned the stay on President Trump posting a bond of nearly $100 million," Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, told NBC News in a statement, citing the earlier increase Trump already posted to bring the amount owed to over $91 million prior to Monday's order.
