Donald Trump has secured a nearly $92m bond to support the New York writer E Jean Carroll’s defamation verdict against him while he appeals the civil case, his lawyers said in court papers on Friday.
The court filing came one day after the Manhattan federal court judge Lewis Kaplan denied the former US president’s request to delay enforcement of the $83.3m verdict jurors awarded to Carroll on 26 January. Trump’s deadline for paying cash or posting a bond while he appeals is 11 March.
