The federal judge who presided over writer E. Jean Carroll\u2019s defamation case against former President Donald Trump refused on Thursday to delay his payment of the $83 million award she was awarded, dealing a significant blow to him.<\/p>\n

The former president, who is widely expected to secure the GOP nomination, has launched initiatives to delay the rulings in both Carroll\u2019s lawsuit and the New York attorney general\u2019s extensive fraud prosecution. Trump faces the prospect of significant financial penalties totaling hundreds of millions of dollars across these two civil cases, The Hill\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s ruling deals a blow to Trump by upholding default rules that could facilitate the enforcement of the judgment in Carroll\u2019s lawsuit as soon as next week. It effectively sets a deadline for Trump to post a bond, the outlet noted further.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Trump\u2019s current situation is a result of his own dilatory actions,\u201d U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in the ruling.<\/p>\n

The Hill added:<\/p>\n

A federal jury sitting in New York\u00a0ordered Trump to pay\u00a0the eight-figure sum for defaming Carroll by denying her story when she came forward in 2019 to accuse the then-president of sexual assault decades earlier. Last year, a separate jury had\u00a0found Trump liable for sexually abusing\u00a0the advice columnist.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Under standard practice, Trump\u2019s lawyers have said Trump\u2019s bond amount would total $91.63 million as he appeals the January verdict.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In recent days, Trump has filed motions requesting a new trial in the case or seeking a reduction in damages, the outlet continued. Trump urged Kaplan, who was appointed to the bench by former President Clinton, to postpone the judgment until 30 days after ruling on those motions. Alternatively, Trump proposed reducing the bond amount to $24.475 million.<\/p>\n

Kaplan has yet to issue a ruling on Trump\u2019s request for a delay. However, on Thursday, the judge rejected Trump\u2019s latest plea for an administrative stay to postpone Saturday\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a continuation of a totally lawless witch hunt,\u201d Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. \u201cPresident Trump\u00a0<\/span>filed a timely motion to stay the ridiculous judgment, and many courts, including the Second Circuit, recognize the importance of temporary administrative stays while such motions are considered. We look forward to continuing to litigate the case and to complete vindication of the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carroll\u2019s lawyers objected to the former president\u2019s request to delay the judgment or decrease his bond amount, citing concerns that Trump might not fulfill his payment obligations, The Hill said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe simply asks the Court to \u2018trust me\u2019 and offers, in a case with an $83.3 million judgment against him, the court filing equivalent of a paper napkin; signed by the least trustworthy of borrowers,\u201d they wrote in a filing with the judge.<\/p>\n

CNN\u00a0reported\u00a0on Friday that Trump posted the massive bond.<\/p>\n

Alina Habba, one of Trump\u2019s lawyers in the case,\u00a0advised\u00a0Carroll not to go on a spending spree just yet because she believes her client will prevail on appeal.<\/p>\n

During an interview on Newsmax TV with host Eric Bolling last month, Habba attacked Carroll for offering to purchase MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow a penthouse apartment and new clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like being in an epic Twilight Zone where no rules were allowed but for the other side, and then she goes out there and gloats and says she\u2019s gonna buy France, and a wardrobe, and a motorcycle, and this and that. I want everyone to remember, and I said this in my closing argument to the jury, she\u2019s here to get a check and after this she will continue. She didn\u2019t care, you know, about the defamation. She didn\u2019t. She cared about the publicity,\u201d Habba said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn appeal, those rulings will come up, the one-sidedness will come up, and we will prevail,\u201d predicted Habba, before concluding, \u201cMy advice to her would be not to go ahead and purchase any motorcycles or penthouse apartments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
