New meaning for Taco Tuesday.
The judge has ordered Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll by Taco Tuesday.
There is one delay Trump can still play by conjoining two verdicts, but if he doesn't, then he has to pay up on Taco Tuesday.
udge Kaplan’s rejection of Trump’s motion was recorded as a “text-only order” in an entry on the case docket, meaning it included no accompanying formal written order.
It means the president has until Tuesday to release the money, which is being held in an escrow account, to Carroll – or file additional arguments as to why he will not do so.
The case is separate from Trump’s appeal of a Manhattan civil jury’s 2024 award of $83.3m to Carroll for defamation. But her lawyers have suggested a legal scenario in which the president might seek to conjoin the cases and further delay payment of both.
