After the supreme court denied Trump’s petition for cert in the $5 million defamation case, the district judge has ordered the clerk to pay out the now $5.8 million judgement to E Jean Caroll’s lawyers.
The original judgement was for $5 million, and it earned about $800k interest during the appeal. The money is coming directly from the court because Trump earlier paid the full amount into the court registry in lieu of posting an appeal bond.
Trump immediately appealed the pay-out order. But since there’s no stay, it’s still effective.
E Jean Caroll also has a separate judgement against Trump for about $80 million. That case is still on appeal.
A step in the right direction. I wish her luck in collecting the rest, it feels like she is going to need it.
