Former United States President Donald Trump appealed on Friday against the verdict of the defamation case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll. Additionally, he secured a $91.6 million bond to pay for the $83.3 million judgment. The bond is provided by the Federal Insurance Company.
"President Trump respectfully requests that this Court recognize the supersedeas bond obtained by President Trump in the sum of $91,630,000.00 and approve it as adequate and sufficient to stay the enforcement of the Judgment, to the extent that the Judgment awards damages, pending the ultimate disposition of President Trump's appeal," Trump's lawyer Alina Habba said in the filing.
Manhattan federal court judge Lewis Kaplan had previously rejected Trump's mistrial motion.
