So can someone who knows tell me: how likely is it that she collects this?
I wilt have thought zero, but she did get the $5m from the last case.
Didn’t know that, so that’s hopeful. I always just assume there’s ways for people like this to string it out and avoid paying.
Actually, the court got $5.5 million. It's being held until the appeal process is completed. Then Carroll will get that plus interest.
According to other reporting, unless Trump successfully appeals it's very likely he will need to pay, and hewould be forced to sell assets if necessary. Even if he had some success on appeal, he'd still have to pay something. Although, no one was mentioning him declaring himself supreme leader if elected.
Trump will tie it up in court until they're both dead.
