Judge Approves Trump's $92M Bond in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case

The bond ensures E. Jean Carroll will be paid if Trump's appeal fails, amid concerns over potential national security implications.

A federal judge approved Donald Trump's $92 million bond in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, blocking immediate collection efforts while Trump appeals.
The bond, higher than the $83.3 million damages awarded to Carroll, is designed to cover the judgment plus interest.
Concerns arise over Trump's indebtedness to foreign entities, with potential national security implications highlighted by experts.
Trump continues to deny the allegations made by Carroll, maintaining his innocence and attacking her credibility.
The case adds to Trump's legal and financial challenges, including a separate $464 million civil fraud judgment.
