Trump posts $91.6 million bond in Carroll defamation case

Former President Donald Trump has posted a nearly $92 million bond as he appeals the judgment in a defamation case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll.

Trump filed the appeal and put up a $91.6 million bond with the federal court in New York on Friday, ,according to CNN.

A jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million damages in January, after concluding that Trump defamed her when he denied Carroll’s claim he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.

Trump’s legal team had requested to delay the payment, arguing that the case was wrongly decided and that the $83.3 million bond would result in "irreparable injury in the form of substantial costs."

Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the request, stating that Trump hadn’t shown how the judgment would present an “irreparable injury” or what expenses he’d face by posing the bond.
