China Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 (edited) Looks like he's struggling with coming up with the cash and is getting desperate: Trump requests delay of $83.3 million judgment in Carroll defamation trial Two weeks after Judge Lewis Kaplan entered the $83.3 million judgment in Donald Trump's defamation case brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll, a lawyer for the former president requested that Kaplan temporarily delay the judgment or permit Trump to post a bond for "an appropriate fraction" of the total damages. Trump's lawyer Alina Habba filed the motion on Friday, requesting a stay until 30 days after the resolution of his post-trial motions filed in early March, or grant a partially secured stay while Trump posts a reduced bond. "There is a strong probability that the disposition of post-trial motions will substantially reduce, if not eliminate, the amount of the judgment," Habba argued in the motion. "Plaintiff failed to offer any evidence that her alleged distress was of any significant severity or duration, or that it resulted in any medical, physical, or clinical consequences—or even any extreme emotional effects," Habba wrote about the emotional damage suffered by Carroll, who described living in a state of fear following Trump's statements. Habba suggested that the court should project a reduction of the total judgment to $22.25 million, for which Trump could post a $24.475 million bond. Click on the link for the full article Post trial motions "filed" in March. How could they have been filed in March, past tense, when it's not even March yet? Or did they mean to say resolution in March of his post trial motions that were filed already? at the idea that the total judgment will be reduced to $22.5 million.

Larry Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Maybe he should not have walked out of the courtroom, and stood on the courthouse steps, on camera, and committed the same crime again. But what do I know? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 ‘It will not come today’: Judge Kaplan smacks down Trump U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, presiding over E. Jean Carroll's successful $83.3 million lawsuit against Donald Trump, issued a cautionary rebuke on Monday to the ex-president who was demanding an immediate ruling on his request to delay payment to the journalist whose lawsuit made him a legally adjudicated rapist. It is Trump's third request, according to Law & Crime. Trump attorneys Alina Habba and John Sauer again requested Judge Kaplan delay the payment due date for 30 days, after alleging Carroll's attorneys "contradicted themselves in a recent court filing," as ABC News reports. Habba and Sauer are asking for the delay, or that Judge Kaplan allow Trump to post a reduced bond of just under $25 million. "Last month," ABC adds, "Kaplan declined Trump's initial request for a reduced bond or a delay, but asked for a reply from Carroll's lawyers. In a filing last week, her attorneys argued that the reasoning in Trump's request relief 'boils down to nothing more than 'trust me.''" Trump has until Thursday to post bond, a total of $91.63 million, so he can appeal. https://www.rawstory.com/it-will-not-come-today-judge-kaplan-smacks-down-trump-2667432012/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) 9 minutes ago, EmirOfShmo said: If all these trials began well before Trump was campaigning or even nominated… how could one logically argue it’s election interference? And if Trump’s lawyers are intentionally delaying/appealing so that the trials overlap with the campaign…. End of story.

China Posted March 6 Author Share Posted March 6 Despite seeking a new trial, he still owes the money by Saturday. If I'm the judge I'm sitting on those motions and then denying them, telling him he can appeal, but he doesn't get a do-over trial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Who's he gonna get to put up the money for the NY Civil case? He owes $466 million. I think he was hoping to get the money from the DWAC, TMTG merger, but that doesn't get voted on until March 22nd, the day before the money is due. Plus he would have to get them to forgo the usual requirement of waiting 6 months before pulling out his money. Not to mention the fact that it may not happen on March 22nd seeing as some of the original players have filed a lawsuit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
