据卡罗尔的一名律师透露,特朗普总统的律师请求作家E.让·卡罗尔同意推迟支付2023年陪审团判给她的500万美元赔偿,并暗示他们计划请求最高法院重新审理他对卡罗尔性虐待和诽谤案的上诉。

卡罗尔的律师罗伯塔·卡普兰在周二提交的法庭文件中表示,周一最高法院拒绝受理特朗普的上诉后不久,特朗普的律师就致电她提出了这一请求。卡普兰写道,她在周一晚些时候告知特朗普团队“卡罗尔不同意”,并询问总统是否同意立即发放卡罗尔等待多年的赔偿款。

在周二提交的另一份文件中,卡普兰请求法官加快程序,以发放2023年陪审团判给卡罗尔的500万美元损害赔偿。该陪审团认定特朗普对性虐待和诽谤负有责任。卡普兰写道,卡罗尔还应获得额外779783美元的利息。

卡普兰表示,她打算向纽约联邦法院提出动议,要求发放这笔资金,并请求“法院指示[特朗普]在7天内,即不晚于2026年7月7日对该动议作出回应,而非通常的14天”。

她援引了2023年6月的一份文件,当时她表示双方曾达成协议:如果最高法院驳回上诉申请,卡罗尔即可领取赔偿。最高法院周一确实驳回了申请。

卡普兰还指出,这场已持续近四年的诉讼“进一步拖延”给卡罗尔造成了损失。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系特朗普的法律团队。

周一,美国最高法院拒绝受理特朗普的上诉,卡罗尔似乎就此击败了特朗普。特朗普花了三年时间上诉联邦陪审团的一致裁决——该裁决仅用不到三小时就认定,特朗普在20世纪90年代百货商店的一次遭遇中,用手指强行插入卡罗尔体内,更有可能对其实施了性虐待。

特朗普强烈否认卡罗尔的指控,称他不认识卡罗尔,“她不是我的型”。他的否认和有关卡罗尔的言论是卡罗尔诽谤指控的核心。陪审团观看了特朗普视频证词中的一段片段:当时展示了一张20世纪80年代末的照片,照片中特朗普和卡罗尔与各自当时的配偶一同交谈。在证词中,特朗普误将卡罗尔认作他的前妻玛拉·梅普尔斯。卡普兰辩称,这证明卡罗尔确实是特朗普的“型”。

自那以后的几年里,这500万美元一直存放在法院控制的银行账户中。

周一,卡罗尔在她的Substack博客上发表简短声明,庆祝最高法院的裁决,并用全大写字母写道:“我们赢了!”

“这场胜利属于世界上每一位女性!”卡罗尔写道。

特朗普还就2024年1月另一份联邦陪审团的裁决提起上诉,该裁决认定他对卡罗尔的其他诽谤言论负有责任。该陪审团判给卡罗尔额外8300万美元赔偿。

特朗普的律师已表明,他们也将把这起案件提交至最高法院。

Lawyer for E. Jean Carroll says Trump wants to delay $5 million payment in sex abuse, defamation case

Lawyers for President Trump asked for writer E. Jean Carroll’s consent to delay the $5 million awarded to her by a 2023 jury, and signaled they plan to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider his appeal of Carroll’s sexual abuse and defamation case, according to an attorney for Carroll.

Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, wrote in a court filing Tuesday that Mr. Trump’s lawyer called her with the request Monday, soon after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. Later Monday, Kaplan wrote, she informed Mr. Trump’s team that “Carroll does not consent,” and asked whether the president would agree to the immediate disbursement of the funds Carroll has waited years to receive.

In a separate filing Tuesday, Kaplan asked a judge to set a faster-than-normal schedule to disburse $5 million in damages awarded to her by a 2023 jury, which found Mr. Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Kaplan wrote that Carroll is also due an additional $779,783 in interest.

Kaplan said she intends to motion the federal court in New York for the funds’ release, and requested “that the court direct [Trump] to respond to the motion within seven days, or by July 7, 2026, rather than the usual fourteen days.”

She pointed to a June 2023 filing in which she said the two sides agreed Carroll could collect if the Supreme Court denied a petition to hear the case. The court did so Monday.

Kaplan also cited the cost to Carroll of “further delay in this nearly four-year-old litigation.”

CBS News has reached out to Mr. Trump’s legal team.

Carroll seemingly triumphed over Mr. Trump Monday when the nation’s highest court declined to hear his appeal. The president had spent three years appealing the unanimous federal jury’s conclusion — reached in under three hours — that he, more likely than not, sexually abused Carroll by forcibly inserting his fingers into her during a 1990s encounter in a department store.

Mr. Trump, who vehemently denies Carroll’s allegations, has claimed he didn’t know Carroll and “she’s not my type.” His denials and claims about Carroll were central to her defamation allegations. The jury watched a moment in Mr. Trump’s videotaped deposition when he was shown a late-1980s photo that depicted Mr. Trump and Carroll in conversation with their then-spouses. In the deposition, he mistakenly identified Carroll as his ex-wife Marla Maples. Kaplan argued it was proof Carroll was indeed Mr. Trump’s “type.”

The $5 million has been held in a court-controlled bank account in the years since.

Carroll celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision Monday in a brief note on her Substack blog, writing in all capital letters, “WE WON!”

“THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD!” Carroll wrote.

Mr. Trump also appealed a separate federal jury’s January 2024 decision finding him liable for other defamatory statements against Carroll. That jury awarded her another $83 million.

Lawyers for Mr. Trump have indicated they will also bring that case to the Supreme Court.
