Writer E. Jean Carroll asked a judge to distribute the $5.7 million in damages owed to her by President Donald Trump after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal of the 2023 jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
In a court filing submitted shortly after the Supreme Court released its decision on Monday, Carroll’s lawyers argued that Trump has hindered payment by “slow-roll[ing] his defenses, asserting or inventing a new one each time his prior effort to delay the case fails.”
Her lawyers contend that Trump appeared to “remarkably seek” further delay of payment by “considering whether to move for reconsideration of the Supreme Court’s denial of his petition.”
