Trump Seeks Pause on $83.3 Million Carroll Judgment Pending Supreme Court Bid
Trump’s lawyers say immediate enforcement would cause irreparable harm as they press constitutional arguments and seek Supreme Court review.
- Attorneys for the president have formally petitioned the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to put a hold on the $83.3 million defamation award, arguing that the case should be frozen until the U.S. Supreme Court has the opportunity to review his claims of presidential immunity.
- This latest legal maneuver follows a significant setback last week when a full panel of appeals court judges refused to rehear his challenge, effectively closing his remaining paths for relief at the appellate level and clearing the way for the collection of the judgment to begin.
- The defense team contends that forcing the payment now would cause "irreparable harm" to the presidency by undermining the legal protections afforded to official executive statements, specifically citing the Westfall Act as a shield that should have replaced the president with the U.S. government as the defendant.
- While the plaintiff’s legal team has expressed a desire to finalize the nearly seven-year-old litigation, they have indicated they will not oppose this temporary delay provided the president increases his existing bond by approximately $7.5 million to account for accumulating interest.
