Trump posts $91 million bond in Carroll case but appeals defamation verdict

Published March 8, 2024 12:58pm ET



Former President Donald Trump posted a $91.6 million bond on Friday after a jury ruled last month that he owed damages in a defamation lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, according to a court filing.

At the same time he posted the bond, Trump’s defense attorneys also filed an appeal of the jury’s verdict. Trump had made numerous remarks about Carroll while he was president amid his denials of her allegation that he raped her, and a judge determined Trump was liable for defamation as a result.
