Donald Trump asks a Manhattan federal judge to withhold a $5M judgment and roughly $5.8M with interest awarded to E. Jean Carroll while the Supreme Court considers a corrected petition to re-examine his appeals.Trump's lawyers say the funds must stay in a court-controlled account as the petition seeks to link the $5M ruling to a separate $83.3M defamation verdict tied to statements Mr. Trump made after his presidency.E. Jean Carroll's legal team, led by Roberta Kaplan, urges immediate disbursement, saying the money has been frozen since the 2023 verdict and that delay risks making recovery difficult.A Manhattan judge is expected to decide soon, with Mr. Trump challenging rulings by Judge
Lewis Kaplan and warning that a reversal could require repayment or return of a deposition.
