After losing his defamation case against American author E. Jean Carroll, former US President Donald Trump has paid bail of more than $90 million in court. A court document published on Friday shows that the 77-year-old will also appeal against this verdict.
In a second civil case, a court had ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll. A New York jury had proven that Trump attacked Carroll in a luxury New York department store in 1996, sexually assaulted him and later defamed him.
Trump also lost his first trial
The now 80-year-old was awarded five million dollars in the first trial, which Trump also appealed. Trump now had to deposit the money in court – along with an additional amount based on court remedies and interest.
Trump made several personal appearances in the second trial – unlike in the first – and attracted attention through numerous comments, which is why the judge had threatened to expel him in the meantime.
Further problems are inevitable
Trump will most likely be the Republican candidate and challenger to US President Joe Biden in the presidential elections scheduled for November. However, he is currently dealing with the courts in many different cases (see chart below).
He was also recently found guilty in a fraud trial and must fork over $450 million.
