The payment stems from a civil case where Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll in 1996. As reported by The Guardian, Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected Trump's request for more time to pay the judgment, ordering him to release the money or file additional arguments by Tuesday.
Carroll sued Trump in 2022 for defamation and battery, alleging that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room. The case is separate from another lawsuit where a jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million for defamation related to statements Trump made about her during his presidency.
Trump's attorneys argue that the money should not be released until the Supreme Court rejects his new petition, citing an agreement that holds $5.5 million in escrow as security for the verdict. They also claim that Carroll intends to give away all funds collected from Trump, making recovery impossible if the verdict is reversed.
