根据周二晚间提交的新文件，唐纳德·特朗普总统的律师请求暂缓执行伊·珍·卡罗尔诽谤案中8330万美元的判决，此时他正以总统豁免权为由寻求最高法院的复审。
特朗普提出的暂缓执行请求得到了卡罗尔法律团队的不反对，条件是特朗普将保证金增加约746万美元，以覆盖上诉期间原判决产生的判决后利息。
特朗普的总统律师贾斯汀·史密斯在提交的文件中写道：“本院现在应当暂缓执行指令，以便特朗普总统能够向最高法院提交与总统豁免权和韦斯特福尔法案相关的重要问题，包括但不限于这些议题。”
“卡罗尔一方不反对这项动议。”

韦斯特福尔法案是一项联邦法律，保护政府雇员在执行公务时因过失或诽谤等普通法侵权行为而免于被个人起诉。卡罗尔最初于2019年11月特朗普第一任期内提起诽谤诉讼。
本质上，这项相关法律起到了法律“盾牌”的作用，将诉讼目标从个人转移到美国政府本身。
这份提交给美国第二巡回上诉法院的24页文件表明，特朗普打算请求最高法院审查2023年5月作出的判决，当时特朗普正在2024年总统初选前夕，面临时任总统乔·拜登政府下的众多法律诉讼。

特朗普的律师辩称，最高法院“有合理的可能性”会受理此案，并且大法官们“有公平的机会”推翻下级法院的判决。他们指出，在驳回全体重审申请的异议意见中，三名第二巡回法院法官指出了特朗普团队所称的涉及总统豁免权和韦斯特福尔法案的法律错误。
史密斯辩称：“如果不暂缓执行，特朗普总统将因他作为美国总统的官方言论在这场诽谤诉讼中被侵犯豁免权而遭受持续的不可弥补的损害”，并补充称，在最高法院审查此案之前，特朗普可能会面临执行8330万美元判决的程序。
“特朗普总统谨此请求法院暂缓执行指令，直至最高法院最终处理调卷令申请。”文件中写道。

特朗普的律师继续说道：“最高法院有‘公平的机会’推翻合议庭关于总统豁免权和韦斯特福尔法案均已被放弃的错误判决。”“如果在最高法院审查这些重大问题期间发布执行指令并允许下级法院程序继续进行，将‘摧毁最高法院已承认的豁免权’，并且如果最高法院如应有的那样推翻原判，还可能导致无法追回资金。”

该动议于周二由詹姆斯·奥蒂斯律师事务所的史密斯提交。

President Donald Trump’s lawyers are requesting a stay of the $83.3 million judgment in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case while he seeks Supreme Court review on the grounds of presidential immunity, according to a new filing late Tuesday night.
The Trump request for a stay is unopposed by Carroll’s legal team if Trump increases the bond by roughly $7.46 million to cover post-judgment interest on the original judgment that has been under appeal.
“This Court should now stay the mandate to allow President Trump to present important questions relating to, without limitation, Presidential immunity and the Westfall Act to the Supreme Court,” the filing from Trump’s presidential lawyer Justin Smith read.
“Carroll does not oppose this motion.”

The Westfall Act is a federal law that protects government employees from being personally sued for common law torts like negligence or defamation committed while they were doing their jobs. Carroll originally sued for defamation in November 2019 during Trump’s first term.
Essentially, the referenced law acts as a legal “shield” by shifting the target of a lawsuit from an individual person to the United States government itself.
The 24-page filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit signals Trump’s intention to ask the Supreme Court to review where Trump is immune for this May 2023 judgment delivered as Trump was weighing another presidential primary run before 2024 and facing myriad legal cases under then-President Joe Biden.

Trump’s lawyers argue there is a “reasonable probability” the Supreme Court will take the case and a “fair prospect” the justices will reverse the lower court. They point to a dissent from the denial of rehearing en banc in which three Second Circuit judges identified what Trump’s team describes as legal errors involving presidential immunity and the Westfall Act.
“Absent a stay, President Trump will suffer ongoing irreparable harm due to violation of his right to immunity from this defamation suit for his official statements as President of the United States of America,” Smith argued, adding Trump may face proceedings to execute on the $83.3 million judgment before the Supreme Court has reviewed the case.
“President Trump respectfully asks the Court to stay the mandate until the Supreme Court’s final disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari,” the filing stated.

“There is a ‘fair prospect’ that the Supreme Court will reverse the Panel’s erroneous decisions that Presidential immunity and the Westfall Act were both waived,” Trump’s lawyers continued. “Issuing the mandate and permitting lower court proceedings to move forward during Supreme Court review of these significant questions would ‘eviscerate the immunity [the Supreme Court has] recognized,’ as well as create a likely inability to recover funds if the Supreme Court reverses, as it should.”

The motion was filed Tuesday by Smith of the James Otis Law Group.
Smith was nominated by Trump to be a United States Circuit Judge for the Eighth Circuit in early March, and the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on his nomination April 15.
