  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. Judge Kaplan: "He has had since January 26 to organize his finances with the knowledge that he might need to bond his judgment, yet he waited until 25 days after the jury verdict — and only shortly before the expiration of Rule 62's automatic 30-day stay of any judgment — to file his prior motion for an unsecured or partially secured stay pending resolution of post-trial motions."

    So, shut up and pay up.

    LOL, Judge Kaplan rules! (in every meaning of the word) 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

    Citizen Trump will just have to wait.

  6. #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.

  7. $83.3 million is a major number. There may be more to come: Trump’s other civil trial, the outcome has yet to be determined. #Trump could be on the hook for hundreds of millions more.

    “I will not comment on the #verdict you have reached,” #JudgeKaplan says, but he praises the #jurors for their attention & focus, saying that they have given “all we can ask.”

  8. 'The jury is likely to triple their punitive damages award against Trump in the E Jean Carroll sex assault and punitive damages case today to punish Trump for literally getting up during her lawyer’s closing argument and storming out of the courtroom, as noted for the jury by the federal judge.'

  9. #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.

  10. #JudgeKaplan tells the #jury they cannot consider any “reputational benefits” #EJeanCarroll supposedly received from #Trump’s attention. The defense had tried to argue that Carroll’s life & professional standing had somehow improved.

  11. #JudgeKaplan tells the jury that they must decide if #EJeanCarroll suffered #damages because of #Trump's statements against her & how much she should be compensated.

    “A person who has been defamed is entitled to fair & just compensation” The jury is to decide what award is “fair & just compensation” for the harm to Carroll’s rep & the emotional distress she endured. “Fair compensation may vary. It may range from $1” if they decide there was no damage “to a substantial” amt, Judge Kaplan says.

  12. #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.

  13. Madaio, Trump’s lawyer, objects when Crowley accuses #Trump of defaming her. #JudgeKaplan asks why. “Defamatory,” Madaio says, objecting to the use of the word even though A JURY IN MAY FOUND SHE HAD BEEN DEFAMED. Judge Kaplan overrules him.

    Crowley says #EJeanCarroll did nothing wrong when she deleted messages from people telling her that she should be raped or killed. “Who wouldn’t do that?”

  14. “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.”

  15. #JudgeKaplan just lost his temper w/ #Habba as she tried to object, reminding the #Trump team that only one lawyer can object during an argument. “One lawyer,” he scolds them, & Habba sits down.

    Judge Kaplan interrupts Crowley as she begins to launch into a key point — that Trump assaulted #EJeanCarroll — to scold the Trump lawyers for walking around during the proceedings. Trump is at the defense table talking to Habba as Crowley says he does “whatever he wants.”

    #law #legal

  16. Habba tells the jury to imagine #Trump, a family man 🤣😂🤣🤣😂 w/ a wife & children w/ “a very serious job to do.”

    “You work long days and long nights, and all of a sudden you’re hit with an allegation,” she said. “There are no facts — ” #EJeanCarroll’s lawyer objects & #JudgeKaplan sustains it. “I’d like to finish my thought,” Habba says. “Move on to a subject different than what you’re embarking upon,” the judge replies.
