Trump (TRMP) Dispute Over $5.8 Million Liability Payment

AI Summary

E. Jean Carroll is seeking the immediate release of $5.8 million from Donald Trump following a civil jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Carroll's legal team argues that Trump has used delay tactics to avoid payment, while Trump seeks to appeal. Judge Lewis Kaplan has indicated that further delays might be inequitable and has asked Trump's lawyers to respond by the following Tuesday. The funds, initially deposited by Trump, have accrued nearly $800,000 in interest, which Carroll is also entitled to receive.
