Trump tries again to delay $5m sexual abuse payout to E Jean Carroll

32. I could provide multiple sources to support my statement...NYT, WSJ, WaPo...but they're all behind a paywall.

As a final response to your "quibbling," I'll just quote what Joyce Vance wrote about what would be "immediately" triggered (or the moment it happened, not automatically) when the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal:

"When Donald Trump appealed the $5 million dollars the jury awarded to E. Jean Carroll in the first of her two defamation victories against him, he put that money, plus extra to cover interest, into escrow. The money would go to her immediately if the appeal terminated in her favor. Trump stipulated that would be the case if, once he asked the Supreme Court to hear his appeal on a writ of certiorari, they declined to do so, which would finalize the decision in Carroll’s favor. That’s exactly what happened on Monday. That means it’s time for Donald Trump to pay up."

"So of course, he did, right? He’d made an agreement and he honored it."

"Alas—and as you all undoubtedly anticipated—that did not happen. Donald Trump, in fact, did not honor his agreement. He was not, yet again, a gracious loser. He has not paid up. He owes Carroll $5,779,783.00, the amount of the judgment plus post-judgment interest. Instead, he wants to delay making the payment. It’s so on brand. But it’s not going to work this time."

"We know all of this because Carroll’s lawyer, the incomparable Robbie Kaplan, had to explain it all to a judge."
