Trump’s $5M Verdict Faces New Delay | Sacramento News

A federal judge has ordered Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $5 million plus interest — a civil judgment from 2023 for sexual abuse and defamation — after three years of the funds being held in court. Trump’s lawyers are appealing, arguing the money should stay frozen until the Supreme Court weighs in, even though the Court previously declined to hear his appeal. Carroll’s team calls Trump’s maneuvering “gamesmanship,” insisting he’s delaying payment. Trump continues to deny the allegations, calling her story a hoax. Meanwhile, Carroll is also pursuing another $83 million award from a 2024 jury, which Trump is also seeking Supreme Court review on — this time over presidential immunity. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on either request. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
