Trump requests extra time to pay Carroll judgment after Supreme Court denial

Lawyers for Donald Trump seek more time to pay the nearly $5.8 million verdict owed to E. Jean Carroll after the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal, saying new counsel needs time to review the case; the funds are in escrow to cover a 1996 sexual abuse ruling and a 2019 defamation finding. Carroll’s side calls the delay a tactic, while Trump contemplates additional appeals related to an $83 million defamation award and possible presidential-immunity issues.
