Trump posts $91m bond in E Jean Carroll defamation case while he appeals ruling
Donald Trump has filed an $91.63m bond in response to the E Jean Carroll defamation ruling against him ahead of Monday’s deadline, also officially appealing the verdict and asking for a stay of the judgement.
His filing did not include any details about the source of the bond, however.
On Thursday night, the former president posted a running commentary on Truth Social about Joe Biden’s fiery State of the Union address, which was partially marred by technical glitches and saw him fail to lay a glove on the commander-in-chief.
President Biden delivered an energetic performance that included blistering attacks on Mr Trump, particularly concerning his stranglehold over the Republican Party having a negative impact in Congress and over his “outrageous, dangerous and unacceptable” rhetoric on Russia and Nato.
