Trump asks judge not to order release of $5.8m payment to E Jean Carroll

According to The Guardian, Donald Trump has asked a judge not to order the release of five point eight million dollars held in a court-controlled account. The money is owed to writer E Jean Carroll following her successful two thousand twenty-three civil trial against Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. Trump deposited the jury award plus interest about six weeks after that verdict. A judge must approve the release of these funds for Carroll to receive them. The request comes after the Supreme Court declined to review Trump's appeal on June twenty-ninth.
