NEW YORK, March 7 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday denied Donald Trump's request to delay enforcement of the writer E. Jean Carroll's $83.3 million verdict in her recent defamation case. The decision by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan adds to pressure on the former U.S. president to line up an acceptable bond during his expected appeal.

In the Jan. 26 verdict, jurors agreed with Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, that Trump had defamed her in June 2019 by denying he had raped her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.

Kaplan made the verdict official on Feb. 8, and gave Trump 30 days to post a bond or come up with cash during his appeal, which is expected to challenge the jury's finding of liability and the amount of damages.

Trump had sought to delay enforcement of the verdict until the judge ruled on his motions to throw it out, which he filed on Tuesday. But the judge said Trump should not have waited 25 days after the verdict before seeking a delay. He also said Trump failed to show how he might suffer "irreparable injury" if required to post a bond. "Mr. Trump's current situation is a result of his own dilatory actions," the judge wrote.

March 7 (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday denied Donald Trump's request to delay enforcement of the writer E. Jean Carroll's $83.3 million verdict in her recent defamation case.

The order was issued by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan. In the Jan. 26 verdict, jurors agreed with Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, that Trump had defamed her in June 2019 by denying he had raped her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.

Kaplan made the verdict official on Feb. 8 and gave the former U.S. president 30 days to post a bond or come up with cash during his appeal, which is expected to challenge the jury's finding of liability and the amount of damages.

Trump had sought to delay enforcement of the verdict until the judge ruled on his motions to throw it out. In seeking to avoid posting a big bond, or any bond at all, lawyers for Trump rejected Carroll's claim that his finances were strained.

1. time for rapist to gfo

[Freethinker65]

2. So cut a check, and when Lara gets hold of the RNC checkbook, she will reimburse.

No big deal.

[getagrip_already]

3. That kind of money just falls out of his pocket when he sits down..

He can't be bothered. He is too busy to count it out.

Just trust him. He is good for it. Trust him.

[underpants]

4. Let's not forget that a lot of debt is tied to the prime interest rate

This increases have had to hurt him bigly.

[charliea]

8. It might help...

But according to recent reports the RNC checkbook doesn't have enough to cover even E. Jean Carroll's judgement, let alone the state of New York's whopping judgement increasing at over 100K per day.
I also just saw that he has to pay Christoper Steele's company around 400K for their lawyer's fees.
Let's just admit that Trump is a LOSER!

[The Roux Comes First]

37. D-Oh!! Or, As We Used to Say, Inspired By English Major Across the Hall

Uh, HUD?

[TwilightZone]

9. The RNC likely doesn't have it.

They're having significant financial issues of their own.

[TomCADem]

38. I am sure that Putin Will Be Happy to Front The Money

Or, perhaps the Saudis will launder some money through one of Trump's kids or in-laws.

[Lonestarblue]

42. Perhaps Orban is bringing the money to Trump in his diplomatic pouch..

[NonPC]

45. Even Putin and Saudis Recognize a Loser

They are done with Trump. As his chances of re-election diminish, so will their will to fund him.

[riversedge]

39. Lara Trump will be the new Trump "fixer" very soon.

[cstanleytech]

40. If he cuts a check he potentially could lose some of the free PR the media is providing and Trumps to cheap to do that.

[QED]

5. What happens if he doesn't come up with the money?

[Mr.Bill]

6. Nothing before he

likely dies of natural causes.

[HighFired49]

10. Court Ordered Selloff

The courts can order that his properties be sold to pay his court ordered debts. Unfortunately, they are all probably mortgaged to the hilt.

[Mr.Bill]

14. Not only that, but if there's a courtroom involved,

Trump and his crew are pretty good at milking a year's delay out of it. I don't know exactly how these things work, but anything involved with Trump in a court never happens on time. If he gets elected again, most likely it won't happen at all. If he doesn't get elected, then it won't matter because he's got shit flying at him from many directions. It's all about the election.

He's a cornered animal with eveything to lose and at the same time, nothing to lose.

[prodigitalson]

16. the stress of knowing you are going to go to prison unless you become dictator of america would have killed

anyone but the most deranged psychopath by now

[Mr.Bill]

18. Absolutely. But I think

Trump is thriving on it.

[prodigitalson]

25. it makes him manic

for sure

[SergeStorms]

41. The drugs make him manic.

He's taking uppers in some form, whether it's Adderall, meth, or another drug from the pharmaceutical companies grab-bag of uppers.

There's absolutely zero chance a man of his age, physical fatness, poor diet etc. sits up in the early morning hours rage tweeting, day after day after day, without some sort of pharmaceutical help. ZERO CHANCE!

[donte]

27. I think

Biden would pardon him if he was really going to be behind bars. His sentence will more likely be home detainment at Mar a logo!

[donte]

28. I forgot

Presidential pardons don't cover state sentences!

[IbogaProject]

36. Joe will never pardon The Donald

Pardon requires that the subject acknowledged their misconduct. I could be commuted down to house arrest and parole. That would almost be worse as he'd have to be under a parole officer.

[niyad]

29. Why would you think President Biden would do so, which he can't,

by the way.

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. They are probably heavily mortgaged

BUT, the court can still put liens on as many properties that see fit. That will keep him from selling the properties or using those properties as collateral for more loans. They have him by his tiny balls.

[Ocelot II]

7. He's got it in some form, and there are procedures for collecting on a judgment.

It might take a while but he'll come up with it. I suppose he could file personal bankruptcy but that wouldn't necessarily stop the collection (though it would slow it down), since intentional tort judgments are usually not dischargeable in bankruptcy. And if he declared bankruptcy, all of his personal finances would be gone over very carefully - which he would not like or want, at all.

[Chainfire]

11. Yea, well, if you owe the bank for your car payment, they will send a wrecker to your workplace, haul your car away

and then take you to court to squeeze the last dime from you. I would suggest something similar. Oh, but wait, there are different rules for different folks...

[Ocelot II]

13. Same rules for everybody. If TFG had a valuable car that was one of the assets to be seized, it could be,

but cars depreciate and real estate doesn't. You want the valuable assets, not cars, unless that's all he has.

[NanaCat]

34. Real estate can also depreciate

May not be as steep a drop as with cars, but it can lose value.

Ask Detroit about that one.

[Ocelot II]

35. I suppose Mierda-Lardo might have lost value if he's tarted it up

like he did his NYC apartment - Versailles as redecorated by Saddam Hussein's pimp. Anybody who wanted to live there ;like a normal person would have to strip it down to the studs and start over.

[Delmette2.0]

43. Remember the reports that the kitchen at Mara-whatever

had health violations.
My guess is that he does not care for or properly repair any of his properties. That kind of neglect brings down the value.

[swag]

12. Let's seize some assets, boyee! (n/t)

[C_U_L8R]

15. Donald, the dilatory dotard

What a dumbass.

[pfitz59]

17. The clock is ticking

too late to sell. time to seize. let's start with Mar A Lego.

[Novara]

19. Pay up, motherfucker!

[Blue Idaho]

20. Pay Up

Buttercup. It’s time to seize assets if he drags his heels.

[kimbutgar]

21. Maybe Orban is bringing him a check from Putin or access to account where the funds are.

And I hope President Biden brings up Orbans visit to mar a lago tomorrow The guy who destroyed Democracy in Hungary.

[SKKY]

22. How sweet would it be if that ugly-ass plane gets repossessed!!

I mean, I have always said schadenfreude is never a good look. But this jack-ass just brings out the worst in me. "Let them fly coach!"

[BlueKota]

24. I am so proud of NY Judges.

They aren't giving him an inch. Too bad the same can't be said of all the judges handling his multiple cases.

[iluvtennis]

26. Awesome news!!!!

[niyad]

30. So he has until Monday?

[Hotler]

31. "dilatory actions" dicking around.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

32. Tough luck dotard

[Botany]

33. What is there to appeal?

Wasn't he already found guilty in his 1st trial
and then despite the judge's admonition Trump kept talking and thus he got trial # 2
And he can't sue himself for hiring bad lawyers. E. Jean Carroll and her lawyers were
light years ahead of Trump and his crew as far
as being smart, knowing the legal system, and
how to conduct themselves in Court.

BTW Trump does not have the money. His whole life is just a shame

[limbicnuminousity]

44. Ex-presidents get a free "do-over"

He scribbled that in crayon on the copy of the Constitution sitting atop a pile of classified documents in his bathroom.

[Botany]

46. I was sick and in a nursing home when E. Jean and her crew won big time over Trump and

…. E. Jean was trying to beg “The Donald” to say some more crap so they could sue him again.
They were giving him shit to his face and saying he is a nothing and that made me feel much better.
