Appeals Court Denies Trump’s Bid to Stall Carroll Judgment

The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rejected Donald Trump’s emergency bid to delay paying about $5.8 million to E. Jean Carroll after her 2023 verdict, allowing release of the $5 million principal plus post-judgment interest from a court-controlled fund. The decision came hours after Trump sought an emergency administrative stay, and follows the Supreme Court’s denial of review; Carroll’s side argued payment is due under the judgment, while Trump contends the deposit agreement does not permit collection while the rehearing petition remains unresolved.
