Attorneys for President Donald Trump asked a New York federal judge late Tuesday to withhold nearly $5.8 million from writer E. Jean Carroll.
Trump’s lawyers argued that Carroll should not be allowed to collect the damages awarded in her civil case while the U.S. Supreme Court considers Trump’s renewed appeal of the May 2023 verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. They said enforcement of the judgment should be paused until the rehearing petition is resolved.
