Trump Seeks Pause on $83.3 Million Carroll Judgment Pending Supreme Court Bid
Trump’s lawyers say immediate enforcement would cause irreparable harm as they press constitutional arguments and seek Supreme Court review.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump requested the Second Circuit Court of Appeals stay the $83.3 million defamation judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll while he pursues potential Supreme Court review.
- Trump's legal team invokes the Westfall Act, which allows the federal government to substitute itself as defendant for officials acting within their scope of duty; a panel of appeals court judges previously denied this request.
- While E. Jean Carroll does not oppose the stay, her attorneys requested Trump increase the bond by $7.46 million to cover post-judgment interest accruing during Supreme Court proceedings.
- The Department of Justice seeks to substitute itself for Trump, which would effectively dismiss the defamation case because the federal government cannot be sued for defamation. If granted, the stay pauses collection while Trump seeks Supreme Court review.
- If the stay is denied, Carroll could begin collection proceedings once the appellate court issues its mandate. Trump could still petition the Supreme Court directly, though such requests are rarely granted.
