The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has agreed to let Trump delay the payment to E. Jean Carroll as long as he posts a $7.4 million bond to cover interest that would accrue through October.

Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to a request by one of Trump’s lawyers that it let the president delay the payment to E. Jean Carroll, though it required that Trump post a $7.4 million bond to cover any additional interest costs, a request Carroll’s attorney had made.

    This just in:

    King Trump doesn’t ever have to be held accountable for his actions, ever. Supreme Leader deemed Supreme by Supreme Court. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

    Here’s my prediction: E. Jean Carroll will get jack squat. And Clarence Thomas will get new tires for his Winnebago from Harlan Crow.

    You can take that to Polymarket.

    Let’s not be surprised by this very obvious outcome. :(

    He’s made $83 million this month from being president, he can afford to pay the woman he raped the fine that the court imposed. It’s bullshit that his privilege has afforded him a completely consequence free life for as long as he’s been alive and being one of the absolute worst people.

      Unfortunately she lives in a country that idolizes and protects wealthy rapists and pedophiles.

      At least she got some justice. Think about all the kids he raped that didn’t get a penny or got killed for speaking up.
