Trump requests E Jean Carroll $83M judgment stay for pending Supreme Court action on presidential immunity

The Trump request for a stay is unopposed by Carroll's legal team if Trump increases the bond by roughly $7.46 million to cover post-judgment interest on the original judgment that has been under appeal.

"This Court should now stay the mandate to allow President Trump to present important questions relating to, without limitation, Presidential immunity and the Westfall Act to the Supreme Court," the filing from Trump's presidential lawyer Justin Smith read.

"Carroll does not oppose this motion."

Essentially, the referenced law acts as a legal "shield" by shifting the target of a lawsuit from an individual person to the United States government itself.

"President Trump respectfully asks the Court to stay the mandate until the Supreme Court's final disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari," the filing stated.

The motion was filed Tuesday by Smith of the James Otis Law Group.
