Former President Trump said Friday he plans to appeal after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, who had alleged he sexually assaulted her decades ago.
āAbsolutely ridiculous! I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party,ā Trump wrote on Truth Social. āOur Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon.ā
āThey have taken away all First Amendment Rights,ā he added. āTHIS IS NOT AMERICA!ā
Fridayās ruling by a jury in New York marked the second time Carroll has won damages from Trump at trial, with the new total adding to a $5 million verdict last year finding Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her over a separate comment.
I didnāt know this, so youāre not allowed to even start your appeal process until you place the damages you owe into escrow?
Just to make sure Iām getting this correctly. I love learning ways that dumps canāt protect himself

Fantastic
The requested bond is generally an amount greater than the judgment sumāCPLR 5519 requires that post-judgment interest and cost are included in the amount. New York State has a 9% statutory interest running on any judgment entered. In New York State, we set the bond amount at 120% of the judgment.
Probably closer to $100 million after the 120%š
Rad, thanks
He will have to put up nearly 100 million in cash or other assets to get his appeal. He already did that for the original case. If his appeals fail, the court will cut her a check.
