While a federal judge in New York mulls over whether a stay should remain in place on enforcement of his $83.3 million defamation award to writer E. Jean Carroll, Donald Trump’s legal team is asking for more time to avoid “irreparable injury.”

The request to U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan came by way of a 2-page letter from attorneys Alina Habba and John Sauer. It asks the court to renew an existing stay on the execution of payment to Carroll that is set to expire on Monday, or drastically reduce what the former president pays up front.

Trump has proposed roughly $24 million on an unsecured bond. The rest that he owes Carroll would be held off as he fights the order on appeal. As Law&Crime previously reported, the former president filed a number of post-trial motions arguing for a new trial on Tuesday, claiming the judge had “completely muzzled” his testimony at trial and unfairly prejudiced him.
