Lawyers for Donald Trump have requested more time to pay a $5m civil judgment to magazine columnist E Jean Carroll from 2023, days after the US supreme court declined to hear an appeal.

In a new filing, the president’s attorney said that since his former lead counsel, Justin Smith, took up a position as a federal judge last month (a post he was nominated to by Trump), his new lead counsel, Josh Halpern, needed more time “to become completely familiar with the facts and procedural circumstances” of the case.
...
In a response, Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, countered that Trump’s request for an extension “appears to be little more than yet another play for time”.

Kaplan said that Smith was nominated to the court of appeals more than five months ago and Trump “has had ample time to retain new counsel” and “should have been acting diligently to do that since at least February”.

If they could harness energy from bullshit, he'd be a perpetual motion machine.

1. Jesus fucking christ...

He’s already grifted billions more than that since squatting in the WH. Seriously, he’s the biggest fucking baby EVER.

So… was his personality more because he was both spoiled and neglected in his formative years, or because his peen is a complete innie? That MAGAt rage has to account for at least the latter. *eyeroll*

10. Well, seems like he's overcompensating for SOMETHING!

2. The $5 million plus interest is sitting in an escrow account and is probably controlled by the court. The court should

release the money to E.Jean Carroll immediately. Trump is out of appeals. Oh yeah, and F*ck Trump.

3. Yes, a Court made Trump do that months ago. Weird they have not released it.

4. Isn't the money that is with the court

provided by some insurance company? or some other org that is covering him?

maybe I'm remembering something else, but if this is the case, they may still be trying to get the money from Trumpm before the insurance kicks in?

6. I think you might be thinking of the larger judgement, maybe $93mil?

He had to get a bond to guarantee the settlement in order to appeal it.
I think he put up the cash to cover this appeal.

5. This silliness will be going on for years...

She will never see a dime of the money. Our legal system is a joke.

[Botany]

7. He can't the SCOTUS of the United States has ruled in that he is guilty

Fuck him.

[Buddyzbuddy]

8. The SOB wormed his way into $2bil. last year but won't pay what he owes.

Scofflaw, scoundrel, conman, thief. There's your GOD MAGA Republicans.

9. How much you got, Donald?

Then HAND IT OVER.
