Trump loses appeals court bid to delay paying E. Jean Carroll $5M in damages
Trump was held civilly liable in two trials for defaming E. Jean Carroll when he denied her claim he sexually abused her in a New York department store.
AI Summary
Trump's attorneys are urging a New York judge to block the release of nearly $5.8 million to E. Jean Carroll, arguing that a pending Supreme Court rehearing petition prevents collection under the terms of their agreement. The Supreme Court had already declined to hear Trump's appeal of the $5 million verdict for sexual abuse and defamation, but Trump has filed a rare request for reconsideration. Carroll's lawyers maintain she is owed the full amount with accrued interest.
