Judge affirms $83.3 million verdict against Donald Trump in E. Jean Carroll defamation case
Source: CNN Politics
Published 5:48 PM EST, Thu February 8, 2024

This will be the second judgment Carroll has won against Trump. Last year a jury awarded her $5 million in damages after finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation for denying Carroll’s rape allegation, saying she wasn’t his type, and suggesting she made up the story to sell copies of a book.
Trump set aside $5.5 million in an account that is controlled by the court. That money will not be released until all appeals, including potentially to the Supreme Court, are exhausted. Last May, Trump appealed the verdict to the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals, which has not yet heard arguments.

Judge Lewis Kaplan has approved Donald Trump's $91,630,000 bond in the defamation case brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll, according to an order filed Tuesday afternoon.
"Enforcement of the Judgment, to the extent that the Judgment awards damages, is STAYED pending the final disposition of the appeal by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit," the order said.
The order stayed the execution of the judgment in the case while Trump appeals. If Trump's appeal is unsuccessful, the bond ensures Carroll will be paid.
The former president had obtained an appeals bond from the Virginia-based Federal Insurance Company totaling $91,630,000 to cover the $83 million judgment in the case plus interest, according to a court filing on Friday. The conditions of the bond did not specify what assets Trump used to secure the bond.

He has NO CONTROL over that money. The COURTS control it.
