Donald Trump’s bond in the E. Jean Carroll verdict might not help him after all
Donald Trump managed to post bond in the E. Jean Carroll verdict on Friday. Even as we wait to find out the circumstances surrounding the last minute bond, and what Trump had to put up as collateral, it turns out it may not be enough to help Trump after all.
Trump seems to be under the impression that because he posted bond in the case, he’s now allowed to resume lying about E. Jean Carroll. In fact he spent a good stretch of his speech on Saturday night lying about Carroll. But in reality, Carroll can go after Trump again in court for any new remarks that Trump makes – and she recently suggested that she’ll do precisely that if it comes to it.
If E. Jean Carroll is able to convince the judge in this case to increase the size of the verdict, then the bond would need to be larger as well. So the bond that Trump just posted may not be large enough to satisfy the bond conditions. Trump just keeps digging himself deeper holes.
