In the latest development surrounding the civil fraud trial against former President Donald Trump, attorney Roberta Kaplan, representing E. Jean Carroll, has criticized Trump's request for a delay in enforcing the $83.3 million judgment against him as the "court filing equivalent of a paper napkin."

Amidst concerns that Attorney General Letitia James may take action against Trump's New York property if he fails to pay the hefty judgment, Carroll is expressing serious doubts about ever receiving the $83.3 million owed to her.

On Wednesday, a New York appeals court denied Trump's request to freeze the judgment and allow him to post a $100 million bond, promising to gather the remaining funds at a later date. Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance weighed in on the matter, stating that while Trump is appealing, New York's attorney general is free to execute the judgment and potentially pursue some of his real estate assets.

With Carroll's judgment hanging in the balance, Kaplan raises concerns about Trump's ability to fulfill his financial obligations. In court filings, Kaplan asserts that Trump simply asks the court to "trust me" and presents an insufficient plan, effectively resembling a paper napkin, signed by someone who lacks credibility as a borrower.

The outcome of Trump's appeal and Carroll's concerns about the delayed payment remain uncertain. It is unclear whether the judgment will be fully executed, or if Trump will find a way to settle his debts. The potential actions of the attorney general regarding Trump's New York properties add further complexity to the situation.

As this legal battle continues, all eyes are on the fate of the $83.3 million judgment and the implications it may have on Trump's finances and relationships with creditors. The case serves as yet another chapter in the ongoing legal challenges faced by the former president, further intensifying the scrutiny surrounding his financial affairs.
