President Donald Trump's latest attempt to dodge the $5.8 million payment a New York court ruled he owes E. Jean Carroll was swiftly
slapped down Friday as "yet another play for time," court records show.
Roberta Kaplan, the attorney who represented Carroll in her sex abuse case against Trump before his return to office, filed a swift rebuttal to Trump's demand for an extension, New York federal court records show.
"Defendant’s assertion that he cannot respond to Plaintiff’s Motion on the timeline ordered by the Court appears to be little more than yet another play for time," wrote Kaplan.
"We can only assume that Defendant is seeking, through the instant motion, to buy time so he can try to concoct some new basis to put off paying Plaintiff."
Carroll's attorney was responding to the motion Trump filed the same day requesting Judge Lewis Kaplan grant him more time so his new attorney could get caught up on the case.
