Carroll first came forward in 2019 with ******* ******** claims against Trump before another civil trial in May 2023, where a New York jury found that the former president ********* abused Carroll but didn’t ***** her.

in damages for a separate ****** case against Trump and top executives at his company — he plans to appeal all three verdicts.

Trump also shared his concerns about Lewis Kaplan, the federal judge who denied his request to delay the defamation judgment, calling him a “Trump-deranged, ****** man.”

Both Carroll’s legal team and the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
