Former President Donald Trump lost his bid on Thursday for a three-day shield from E. Jean Carroll trying to collect on her $83.3 million federal defamation verdict.
Without a court order to protect him, Carroll can begin trying to collect on the $83.3 million judgment next week if Trump hasn't posted a sufficient bond or deposit with the court.
The likely Republican presidential nominee asked New York federal Judge Lewis Kaplan on Feb. 23 to block Carroll from going after the money until 30 days after Kaplan rules on Trump's post-trial motions, including a request for the court to give Trump a win despite the jury's verdict and a request for a new trial.
As the clock ran down without a ruling on that request, Trump asked the court Wednesday to block Carroll from collecting until three business days after the court rules on his Feb. 23 request, saying he would need time "to finalize bond arrangements" if the court rules against him.
"Mr. Trump's current situation is a result of his own dilatory actions," Kaplan wrote in the Thursday order denying that three-day request.
