"Trump Appeals E. Jean Carroll Verdict with $91 Million Bond"

Former President Donald Trump has filed a notice of appeal and posted a $91 million bond in the defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The bond, needed to prevent Carroll from collecting the $83 million judgment while the appeal is pending, was a surprise move as Trump's lawyers had previously sought more time and a reduction in the amount. The judge has ordered Carroll's attorneys to respond to Trump's request, and the appeal process could take months or even years. Trump is also facing a larger issue in a separate New York state court case, where he was hit with a $464 million civil fraud judgment.
