President Donald Trump scored an important legal delay Tuesday when a federal appeals court temporarily blocked E. Jean Carroll from collecting the $83.3 million defamation judgment she won against him, but the ruling also ensures the case will continue hanging over his presidency for months and possibly years.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit granted Trump's request to pause enforcement of the judgment while his appeal moves forward, reported the Associated Press. The order means Carroll cannot yet seize assets or force payment even though the jury verdict against Trump still stands.
