A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the release of more than $5 million to E. Jean Carroll rejecting President Donald Trump’s attempt to delay paying the former magazine columnist a jury found he sexually abused and defamed.

The ruling from federal Judge Lewis Kaplan comes after Trump had asked him not to release the money to Carroll until the Supreme Court decides whether it will reconsider his petition to challenge the jury’s finding that he sexually abused and defamed the former magazine columnist.

Lawyers for Carroll could not immediately be reached for comment.

Trump filed a notice with the court that he will appeal the decision.

Judge orders transfer of Trump’s $5 million payment to E. Jean Carroll

President Donald Trump’s legal team swiftly appealed the ruling and filed a motion seeking an emergency administrative stay to block the release of the funds.

A federal judge on Wednesday ordered that writer E. Jean Carroll be paid $5 million plus interest in damages stemming from a judgment in one of her two civil cases against President Donald Trump.

Trump had made a last-ditch effort late Tuesday to stop Carroll from collecting the money. In a brief requesting that the disbursement of the damages be halted, the president’s lawyers argued that because his request for the Supreme Court to reconsider its refusal to hear his appeal is pending, there is no final denial from the justices on the matter of his appeal, and so the distribution of those funds to Carroll is not justified.

Trump’s legal team swiftly appealed the judge’s ruling Wednesday. They also filed a motion seeking an emergency administrative stay to block the release of the judgment funds in the case, arguing the money could be impossible to recoup if it is distributed before his appeal is resolved.
