He already owes her $5 million, and he’s not going to pay that, either
That’s not how it works.
Trump is appealing the $5 million judgment. And when you appeal, the first thing you do is write a check for the entire amount - a check made out to the court. That way if you lose the appeal, the court can pay the plaintiff.
So, in fact, Trump had already paid the $5 million, even if Carroll can’t spend it yet.
That’s not how it works.

You sure that’s how it works? I thought Alex Jones appealed his judgement. And definitely didn’t have 1.5Billion to just pay the court with.
That’s how it works in federal court, as in this case.
Jones was sued in Connecticut state court, where the procedure might be different.
Incorrect.
