Latest News About E Jean Carroll Award Delay

Here’s the latest I can confirm from recent reporting:

• The Second Circuit paused the $83.3 million payment to E. Jean Carroll, delaying collection while the Supreme Court considers Trump’s appeal. The stay is conditioned on posting a bond (roughly $100 million when interest is included). This means Carroll’s award is not immediately collectible, but the underlying judgment remains in place.[1][2]
• The delay coincedes with Trump seeking Supreme Court review of the case; the court emphasized the stay would persist until the Supreme Court acts on the petition or denies it. The practical effect is a longer wait for payment, with the bond intended to cover potential interest accrued during further proceedings.[2][1]
• Earlier notices indicated the stay could hinge on bond amounts and ongoing appellate proceedings. Reports from late April to May 2026 repeatedly describe the same arrangement: no payment yet, bond posted, and the Supreme Court potentially weighing the case.[1][2]
