Trump Seeks Stay on Execution of $83 Million E. Jean Carroll Judgment

His attorneys argued that post-trial motions would likely ’substantially' reduce the final judgment, and he would suffer irreparable harm without the stay.

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team filed a motion on Friday seeking a stay on the execution of an $83 million judgment against him for 30 days to allow for post-trial motions that may impact the penalty figure.

The motion, citing Rule 62 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, asks for either an “unsecured” or “partially secured” stay of the court’s Feb. 8 judgment until 30 days after the resolution of President Trump’s post-trial motions.
