Move follows supreme court refusal to hear Trump’s appeal of civil case verdict in sexual abuse and defamation case
The New York journalist E Jean Carroll asked a judge on Tuesday to mandate that Donald Trump pay her the $5m she is owed from a jury verdict that found the US president liable for sexually abusing her in the 1990s and defaming her after she publicly described in 2019 being attacked by him in a city department store.
Lawyers for Carroll filed papers in a federal court in Manhattan one day after the US supreme court refused to hear Trump’s appeal of the civil case verdict in 2023.
The author and advice columnist argues in the filing that Trump is unjustly trying to delay even further releasing the funds to her, after he has made repeated challenges to the civil jury’s decision.
How could any judge assess a scumbag grifter billionaire and not force a motion for expedited payment? There’s no reason this should be delayed.
What happened to the $83 million he owes her for defamation?
Should receive plus interest!
Honestly yes. She should.
Why the fuck does she have to ask
She’s asking the lower appeals court to speed up the process of finalizing the appeal judgement in her favor.
When a circuit appeals court makes a decision, that decision doesn’t become final until a separate piece of paper called the “mandate” is issued.
If she didn’t make this request the mandate would be issued anyway within a certain time frame, like 30 days or so. She just wants it to happen faster.
It sounds like Trump is thinking about annoying the supreme court with a motion to reconsider. If he does that, he would also file a counter motion in the circuit court to delay the mandate issuance.

If Sandy Hook families have not received anything from Alex fatfuck Jones yet, this woman will never see a dime.
For a guy that has gained billions from bilking his donors with crypto schemes since taking office, he is a penny miser. Just pay the money and be done with it.
It’s no surprise though, he was one of 26 wealthy people who cashed in a $1.11 cheque, one of 13 wealthy people to cash in a 64 cent cheque and one of two people to cash a 13 cent cheque back when Spy magazine ran a prank to see how penny pinching rich people were.
Hahahaha, that last part is new on me and incredible! Thanks for sharing
I so wish she was trying to get her settlement from his estate.
The money should be held by the court in an appeal bond. Hopefully she doesn’t have to try to extract it from Trump directly.
Trump: “The new ballroom will cost $500 million…… what?... it will cost $505 million.”
Even if that happened and the $505M was allocated, he STILL wouldn’t pay
Yeah, it’s a point of pride by now. His narcissism means he’ll resent being ordered to do it, and will pull every tactic he can to deny and delay. He can easily scrounge up the money, but he doesn’t want to. So he’ll delay until the courts start putting liens on his assets. And even then, the lien would only take effect once he sells the affected asset, so he could just refuse to ever sell it.
They should garnish his Presidential salary just for the principle of it. I bet that would irk him more than the $$.
