Judge rejects Trump bid to delay $5.8M payment to E. Jean Carroll

A U.S. federal judge has rejected former President Donald Trump's request to delay a $5.8 million payment to E. Jean Carroll, a woman who sued him over allegations of sexual assault. The court ruled that Trump's attempt to challenge the payment through a legal motion was not valid, allowing the payment to proceed. The case stems from a civil lawsuit filed by Carroll, who claims Trump defamed her during a 2019 interview where he denied allegations of sexual misconduct. The judge emphasized that Trump had already been ordered to pay the damages and that his current motion did not meet the necessary legal standards. The ruling underscores ongoing legal battles involving Trump and allegations of harassment and defamation.
