BREAKING: THAT'S RIGHT! E. Jean Carroll's attorneys REJECT Trump's desperate request for more time to cough up the $5.8 million that he owes her.
No mercy for this monster...
Shortly after the Supreme Court refused to hear Trump's appeal of the civil case verdict that Carroll won in 2023, his legal team reached out to hers and asked if the payment could be delayed as they try to get the court to reconsider its rejection of their appeal.
In other words, Trump lost and then begged for time to scheme his way to a victory. Carroll's lawyers promptly and bluntly refused.
Consider the gall here. Not only did Trump sexually assault this women, he then went on to defame her publicly and frequently, and fought the case all the way to the Supreme Court. Then, when he was unable to get his desired result, he reduced himself to begging, as if this entire saga was simply a matter of cordial disagreement instead of deeply contentious and laced with cruelty.
At the same time that he was pleading with her to hold off on collection, he was posting on Truth Social that he "never met" her, that the defamation claim is "ridiculous," and that he's battling "injustice."
In their court filing, Carroll's attorneys Roberta Kaplan, D. Brandon Trice, and Maximilian T. Crema stated that there is simply no reason for further payment delay — especially since the justices, including the conservatives, unanimously agreed not to hear the case.
“To date, Carroll has agreed to each of defendant’s many requests to delay the payment he owes her. Given the extraordinary lengths he has taken to avoid such payments and that each of those efforts has been denied in full, that cooperation ends today. It is time for him to pay Carroll,” the lawyers wrote.
The roughly $5.8 million sum ticked up to its current amount thanks to interest accrued as Trump dragged his feet and sought relief through the court system. Originally, a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and then defamation damages were added on top. Trump is currently appealing a separate $83 million defamation verdict that Carroll won in 2024.
Carroll's attorneys referred to this current juncture as "the end of the line” and stated that it's “time for him to pay Carroll.”
Trump must immediately surrender the money to Carroll and then she has to remain eagle-eyed. If he defames her again, she should hit him with an even bigger lawsuit!
