Former President Donald Trump has posted a $91.6 million bond as part of his appeal against a defamation judgment in the case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. Carroll, who has accused Trump of raping her in the 1990s, was awarded $83.3 million in January after a jury found that Trump had defamed her. Trump’s bond payment comes ahead of an approaching deadline and is part of the legal proceedings that require him to secure 110% of the award’s value while he appeals the verdict.
