Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

    Wouldn’t New York have a lien on most of his properties with their fraud case?

    I guess he will likely will try to appeal the amount and leverage another lein onto his properties. He could also use his grift money from the PAC’s to pay into the escrow.

    Of course his appeal will go swimmingly when he defames her again in 3… 2… 1…

      He can’t appeal the amount. He has to put the amount into escrow before he can appeal. That’s standard practice for courts, so that people don’t try to weasel out of paying. Trump isn’t the first person to lose a big lawsuit…

      If all of Trump’s properties are under lien and he has nothing left in his bank accounts, then that leaves option 4.
