Donald Trump Moves to Freeze Paying $83 Million to E. Jean Carroll

President Donald Trump has asked the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to pause enforcement of the $83.3 million defamation judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll, seeking to delay payment while he prepares a potential Supreme Court appeal

In a filing on Tuesday, Trump requested that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals stay its mandate in the case, which would temporarily block Carroll from taking steps to collect the judgment. The request comes days after the appeals court rejected Trump's bid to rehear the case before the full court, effectively ending his path to further review at that level.
