Now she needs to get the 80 million more that she was awarded because Trump didnt
follow the courts order to not speak about or defame Ms. Carroll after he lost the first
case.

sop
(20,202 posts)a nonprofit organization backed by billionaire Democratic donor and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. Most likely Carroll's legal fees and costs were more than the $7 million received from American Future Republic, so she may still owe Kaplan. We don't know what sort of fee arrangement Carroll made with Kaplan. I seriously doubt she'll have to pay Kaplan 90% of the $5.6 million, plus the $7 million already paid her.

(46,535 posts)In May, after rejecting Trump's last attempt to get the second circuit to reverse the judgment, that court, with Carroll's consent, stayed the release of the payment pending the outcome of a forthcoming petition for certiorari that Trump has until July 28 to file with the supreme court but that won't be dealt with by the court prior to the new session in October.
In addition, notwithstanding the payment of the $5 million judgment, Trump still has a petition to reconsider the denial of certiorari in that case pending at the Supreme Court. Not going to venture a guess as to when SCOTUS will address that petition, but the fact that it didn't act quickly knowing that the money was about to be released would seem to suggest that they aren't likely to grant rehearing -- something that is very rare.

Frankly, I think weve needed THAT one for a LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGG time! TERM LIMITS for SCOTUS. And as soon as possible!!!

(4,454 posts)1. Do not stand near any windows above the first floor.
2. Look both ways several times before crossing any street.
3. Do not accept any package unless it has been x-rayed.
4. When in the company of other people, do not accept a drink unless she ordered it and she took it directly from the bartender's hands -- and have the bartender take a sip first.
Am I paranoid or what?
