Trump can appeal his E. Jean Carroll verdict, but he still must hand over damages, plus interest, within 30 days of the judge's written judgment.
  • Donald Trump has to cut a fat check, and his appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict won’t delay that.
  • Within 30 days of the judge’s written judgment, Trump has to turn over either cash or a bond.
  • While he appeals the verdict, Carroll can’t touch that money — but neither can Trump.

    He doesn’t have it to hand over

    Yes he does. He has to either pay the judgement to her, or put it in escrow if he plans to appeal.

    That’s over three times what the judge in his fraud trial said Mar-a-Lago was worth (Trump claimed it was worth $1 billion).

    I don’t understand this statement. Are you suggesting that the reason you think he doesn’t have to pay is because it’s a lot of money?
