"Trump's Legal Team Requests Delay in Enforcing $83M Verdict in E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit"

Former President Trump's lawyers have requested a New York judge to delay enforcing the $83 million verdict in E. Jean Carroll's defamation lawsuit, arguing that an appeal could potentially reduce or dismiss the case. They have asked for a suspension of the fines until after Trump's post-trial motions are considered, or a partial stay requiring Trump to post bond for a fraction of the fees. This request follows Trump being ordered to pay $83.3 million for defaming Carroll, marking the second time he has been ordered to pay damages to her. Carroll celebrated the verdict as a "great victory," while Trump's attorneys called the punitive damages "plainly excessive" and in violation of the Constitution and federal common law.
