  2. Trump Loses Bid to Delay $83.3 Million E. Jean Carroll Defamation Judgment
    Leaving Him With Days to Cover $83M Judgment

    A New York judge on Thursday denied Donald Trump's request to delay the penalties in E. Jean Carroll's defamation case, leaving the former president three days to pay or post a bond for the entire $83.3 million judgment.

  3. #JudgeKaplan tells the #jurors that they are free of his order to maintain their anonymity. But, he said, “my advice to you is that you never disclose you were on this jury.” (#JuryIntimidation)

    #EJeanCarroll’s lawyers wiped away tears as they hugged her & each other. They beamed as they left the courtroom.

  4. #JudgeKaplan is still instructing the jurors. The jury must also decide if #Trump acted “maliciously” when he made his two statements in 2019 about #EJeanCarroll, he says. At the time, Trump said he did not know who Carroll was & that she was lying to sell a book. The jury will award #PunitiveDamages if they decide Trump #ActedMaliciously when he made one or both of those statements, Judge Kaplan explains.

  5. #JudgeKaplan is giving the #jury instructions.

    That’s it for the closing arguments themselves. Now we wait for the jury charge & #deliberations.

    #JudgeKaplan tells the jury that they do not have to decide whether #EJeanCarroll was #SexuallyAssaulted or whether she was #defamed, that’s been decided as a matter of #law. “For your purposes, you must accept these points are true no matter what else you heard in this trial,” he said.

  6. “He’s still breaking the #law literally to this day,” Crowley says of #Trump, arguing that he continues to #defame #EJeanCarroll. Madaio, one of Trump's lawyers, objects, #JudgeKaplan overrules him.

    Crowley says that Carroll “gave interviews… because she had to defend herself when he came after her.” Trump's constant attacks against Carroll were not a simple denial or disagreement, Crowley says. “That is not just some innocent version of trying to defend yourself.”

  7. Per Michael Gold, #Trump’s account sent about 16 posts in 15 minutes on social media just now. They mostly attack #JudgeKaplan & #EJeanCarroll herself, w/the familiar insults.

    (he’s freaking crazy! I Hope Roberta Kaplan tells the Judge & jury. This is exactly why he needs serious #PunitiveDamages.)

    Meanwhile Alina Habba, Trump's lawyer, said it is clear that Carroll suffered no #EmotionalDistress & also suffered no professional #harm.

  8. #JudgeKaplan: "Mr. Trump, keep your voice down."

    Asked if #Trump would say anything other than #proffer, #Habba said she doesn't have a "crystal ball."

    Trump again interjected.

    Kaplan: “Sorry Mr. Trump, you’re interrupting these proceedings by talking loudly while your counsel is talking.”

    When Habba began talking about what her client has a right to do, Kaplan responded: "Ms. Habba, I will decide what he has the right to do. That’s my job, not yours."

  9. #JudgeKaplan asked for a #proffer of #Trump's #testimony, #AlinaHabba responded: "He's going to say he stands by his deposition. He's going to say that he stands by those statements there."
    She said he'd also claim that he didn't mean to harm her.

    Asked if Trump would go beyond that, #Habba said: "I'm not testifying for my client, your honor."

    #EJeanCarroll atty Roberta Kaplan said Trump had an opportunity to participate in the first trial, but he didn't appear.

  10. #JudgeKaplan also said #Habba was being "repetitious" by reciting a long list of posts on #X, aka #Twitter, attacking #EJeanCarroll in 2019 shortly after she first publicly accused #Trump of raping her decades earlier.

    The trial in Manhattan federal court is being conducted ONLY to determine #damages Carroll is owed by Trump for #defamatory statements he made after she aired that #rape claim which a #jury has found to be factually #legal.
