Title: Judge Denies Trump’s Request to Delay Payment of $83.3 Million in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Lawsuit

A judge overseeing the defamation lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump has rejected Trump's lawyer's bid to postpone paying damages amounting to $83.3 million. The lawyer, Alina Habba, had filed a motion asking for a delay until at least 30 days after forthcoming post-trial motions, which are set to be filed no later than March 7. However, Judge Lewis Kaplan denied this request, emphasizing the need for both parties to have a fair opportunity to present their arguments.

This development comes in the midst of speculation regarding how these damages might impact Trump's financial standing, with experts expressing concerns that the payments to Carroll could potentially lead to bankruptcy or liquidity issues for the former president. Additionally, Judge Arthur Engoron recently ruled that Trump will face penalties of around $355 million in a separate New York case related to fraud involving The Trump Organization.

Carroll, who has indicated she may sue Trump again, has been vocal about Trump's behavior following the trial. Responding to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, Carroll confirmed that she would pursue further legal action if advised to do so by her lawyers. Trump, who continues to deny any wrongdoing in the Carroll case and plans to appeal the verdict, has been active on social media and at rallies discussing Carroll and challenging her claims.

The story is ongoing, with updates constantly emerging regarding the legal battles and financial implications faced by Trump in connection to the defamation lawsuit and other legal proceedings.
