Trump asks appeals court to halt E. Jean Carroll defamation payment pending Supreme Court review

Donald Trump's legal team is requesting a temporary halt to the $83 million defamation award granted to E. Jean Carroll. The aim is to prevent payment while Trump pursues an appeal to the Supreme Court. This move comes after a jury in January 2024 finalized the defamation award, following a previous $5 million award in May 2023 for sexual abuse and defamation. Trump denies all allegations and claims presidential immunity. AI
