E.Jean Carroll has mocked Donald Trump after he posted bond to cover the defamation verdict reached against him earlier this year.
On Friday, Trump posted a $91.6 million bond after the verdict ruled in Carroll’s favor in a highly covered defamation trial that concluded on January 26. The decision came nine months after the former U.S. president was found liable for sexually assaulting her in a department-store dressing room in the mid-1990s.
The bond from Federal Insurance Co would cover Carroll’s $83.3 million judgment if he were to lose his appeal and refuse to pay the writer. Newsweek has contacted Trump for comment via the contact form on his website outside of normal working hours.
However, Carroll, 80, doesn’t appear to be in low spirits about the matter. She posted an image of the motion that confirms Trump’s bond posting on her blog Ask E. Jean, which she titled “SURPRISE!”
