Appeals court blocks $83 million to E. Jean Carroll amid Trump appeal
Just the News ^ | 5/13/26 | Ben Whedon

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals this week temporarily blocked an $83 million dollar payment that President Donald Trump owed to E. Jean Carroll in her defamation case while the Supreme Court mulls intervening.

The court order granted Trump's request for a stay, provided he increase his bond by nearly $7.5 million.

Carroll, in 2019, accused Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room some time in the 1990s. She brought separate legal claims for defamation over his denials while in office and after leaving.

She deserves nothing but a big legal bill payable to Trump.

A stay pending an appeal is common.

The worm is beginning to turn in a lot of areas in America today. Let’s hope this is one of them.

Pray for a successful appeal of this nonsense.

In most states I believe a bond for the judgement amount must be posted while the appeal is in process.

I honestly don't think Trump's appeal in this case is very strong. Apparently his legal team is pursuing a "presidential immunity claim," which doesn't seem applicable to a state civil case.

Personally, I think a better argument could be made on the basis of the entire case constituting a violation of the Sixth Amendment. A person can't possibly defend himself against an accusation in either civil or criminal court when the accuser can't even establish the YEAR the alleged incident took place.

she literally got her accusation from a tv show script I understand. I’m not a billionaire, but even as I am, I find her homely. If I were a billionaire, she wouldn’t get anywhere near me.

Trump didn’t even touch this lady. I guarantee this 100%

Good analysis. You would think Trump’s legal team would know this.

The problem is this crazy beotch will never lose one cent even if the Supreme Court overturns the NY court.
Unless, they overturn and Trump sues her in civil court to recoup the damages to his reputation.

This is no different than Blaisy Ford who accused Cavanaugh of unwanted advances when they were in college. That woman had absolutely no proof either.

I remember an old ‘Run For Your Life’ weekly tv series with Ben Gazzara that had this same plot in the 1960s.
A woman accused him of rape, and he found that she had lifted the whole plot from a fiction book, including much of dialog during the attack.

There is generally a store employee who guides a woman to try-on dressing rooms. And she is always nearby to help get another size, and/or get ready for sale or put back on rack. What kind of shop was this supposed to take place???

Oh, I know it is common, but when it comes to TDS we expect judges to do the uncommon thing in order to “get Trump”.

A high dollar store at which only the rich normally shop. And those rich shoppers expect exclusive service in return for their dollars.

Appellate courts don’t rule on the substance of the case. They would consider the ridiculousness of her accusation to be a substantive matter, not something that fell under the purview of the Sixth Amendment.

E. Jean talks to the trees in her backyard. She lives right next to the onion fields in the Black Dirt region in Orange County, NY. Maybe there is something in the pesticides the farmers use. She should’ve listened to the trees when they advised her to drop her lawsuit 😁😁
