Trump will now need to secure a bond of around $90 million by Monday if he wants to prevent Carroll from beginning to collect.

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.
