00:02Eugene Carroll asked a federal judge to release nearly $5.8 million that President Trump owes
00:08from a May 2023 civil jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her,
00:15according to CNBC. Trump wants to delay paying Carroll so he can ask the Supreme Court to
00:20reconsider its refusal to hear his appeal, though such requests are rarely granted.
00:25Carroll rejected any further delay and asked Judge Lewis Kaplan to order the funds released.
00:30The $5 million verdict has earned nearly $800,000 in interest since Trump deposited funds with
00:36the court. Judge Kaplan ordered Trump's lawyers to respond by next Tuesday.
00:41Trump is still appealing a separate $83.3 million defamation verdict awarded to Carroll.
