Former President Trump can delay paying E. Jean Carroll the $83.3 million a jury decided he owes her until after he exhausts all appeal options he has vowed to seek, The New York Times reports.
On Friday, a federal jury in New York ordered Trump to pay Carroll for defaming her in 2019 when he denied her accusation that he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.
After the decision, he announced he would be appealing the “absolutely ridiculous” ruling.

Trump also could attempt to secure a bond, which saves him from having to pay her the full amount up front, the Times report noted. He may have to pay a deposit and offer collateral that would come with interest and fees — but it also means he would have to find someone willing to lend him the significant sum of money.
This is absolutely standard, due process. Say what you will, he is entitled to an appeal.
The way the title is written it sounds like he doesn’t have to post to a bond/escrow while doing his appeals. He is following absolutely standard due process, but the article writers are doing a great job stirring the pot to get clicks.
Sure he is, after he places $99m into escrow, not before.
