Trump files last-minute bid to prevent $5M payout to Carroll
President Trump’s attorneys have mounted a last-minute bid to pause the payment of a more than $5 million judgment owed to writer E. Jean Carroll over two years after a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Trump’s attorneys urged District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Tuesday to deny Caroll’s motion to disburse the nearly $5.8 million award from escrow while the president’s “timely petition for rehearing remains pending before the Supreme Court.”
“Collection cannot begin while proceedings remain pending before the Supreme Court, which is currently the case,” lawyers Josh Halpern and Michael Madaio wrote in Manhattan court filings.
