A lawyer for Donald Trump says the former president has secured a bond sufficient to support an USD 83.3 million jury award granted to writer E. Jean Carroll during a January defamation trial.
Attorney Alina Habba filed papers on Friday with the New York trial judge to show that Trump had secured a USD 91.6 million bond from the Federal Insurance Co. She simultaneously filed a notice of appeal to show Trump is appealing the verdict to the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals.
The posting of the bond was a necessary step to delay payment of the award until the 2nd Circuit can rule.
