Trump Begs Judge to Halt $5M E. Jean Carroll Payment
Lawyers for Donald Trump have filed a new motion arguing that E. Jean Carroll should not receive the $5 million in damages awarded to her until a renewed Supreme Court bid to dismiss the case concludes. Trump’s legal team contends that forcing payment now would result in an “unrecoverable loss” for him, as Carroll has stated her intention to donate any recovered funds. They propose holding the damages in an escrow account to protect Carroll while preventing irreparable harm to Trump, as the funds would be difficult to reclaim if Trump ultimately prevails. This comes after the Supreme Court previously rejected Trump’s appeal to overturn the civil verdict.
