Trump Again Asks Supreme Court to Block $5 Million Carroll Award
Trump asks the Supreme Court to reopen the case and delay payment of nearly $5.8 million, citing disputed evidence at trial.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider its June 29 rejection of his appeal regarding the $5 million jury verdict for E. Jean Carroll, seeking to forestall payment of nearly $5.8 million held in escrow.
- Trump's legal team argued a rehearing is warranted because he plans to file a petition concerning "Presidential immunity for official statements," claiming collection cannot begin while proceedings remain pending before the Supreme Court.
- Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, urged the district court to release the funds, describing the rehearing request as a delay tactic, while U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump's request for additional time, maintaining a July 7 deadline.
- Trump's attorneys stated he would face "unrecoverable loss" if Carroll receives the funds before a potential rehearing, warning that releasing the money would "undermine public confidence in an orderly judicial process."
- This verdict is one of two Carroll has won against Trump, who has rejected the allegations as a "hoax" and "con job"; the former president also plans to appeal a separate $83.3 million judgment to the Supreme Court.
