Finding that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s own dilatory tactics are the cause of the financial squeeze in which he now finds himself, a Manhattan federal court declined on Thursday to exercise whatever discretion it might have to give him a few extra days to arrange an approximately $90 million bond.
Trump will need such a bond to block enforcement of the $83.3 million judgment in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. That judgment will become final on Monday, March 11. That is, unless Trump arranges a bond in the next three days, Carroll may begin enforcement actions to make him pay.
