Attorneys for E. Jean Carroll have asked a federal judge to order Donald Trump to pay nearly $5 million in damages awarded after a defamation case. This request comes after Trump’s appeal failed.
According to lawyers representing Carroll, Trump is seeking to delay payment of the damages that a jury found him liable for regarding sexually abusing and defaming her. The initial verdict was reached in 2023.
The Washington Examiner reported that attorneys for Carroll filed a request with a federal judge in New York on Tuesday, asking the court to compel Trump to pay the nearly $5 million in damages related to the defamation case she won last year.
The BBC US stated that Carroll has called on Trump to make the payment, asserting it is “time for him to pay.” Her lawyers contend that Trump intends to postpone fulfilling the financial obligation determined by the jury.
No additional details regarding Trump’s legal strategy or potential further appeals were immediately available in the provided sources.
The case stems from allegations made by Carroll against Trump, which he denied. The jury found him liable for both sexual abuse and defamation related to statements he made about Carroll while president and after leaving office.
