'Trump offers no alternative means': Carroll lawyer hits back at move to delay paying $83M to writer

In response to Donald Trumps continued promises to a judge in New York that he will pay the $83.3 million he owes to writer E. Jean Carroll for defaming her without posting security Carrolls lawyer has offered a taut reply: Once again, Trump offers nothing to credit him but his unsubstantiated say so.
The message came in a one-page letter to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan after the former president already beset on all sides by indictments and legal dramas in Florida, Georgia, Washington, D.C. and elsewhere in New York City asked for a third time to stay the execution of the defamation award to the veteran writer.
Trumps attorneys Alina Habba and John Sauer have proposed that the court should give the defendant an unsecured 30-day delay to pay until all of his post-trial motions are resolved, or to allow him to post a reduced bond that would come in at little over $24.4 million. Carrolls attorney Roberta Kaplan wrote in the Monday letter to the judge that Trumps latest filings are riddled with incorrect claims that it is she who mischaracterized existing Second Circuit case law on the enforcement of judgment without the posting of bond or another condition.
Not only has Trump once again offered no alternative means other than his own unsubstantiated say so that he will have the $83.3 million available when Carroll prevails on appeal, Kaplan wrote, but when his lawyers pointed to a 2015 strip search case in Long Island to support their argument, they misinterpreted it.

We have seen it again and again. For decades, if you care to look back that far.
It is time to say NO to this out-of-control, spoiled, selfish, lying, stealing brat of a man-child.
