In reply to the discussion: Trump tries again to delay $5m sexual abuse payout to E Jean Carroll [View all]onenote
(46,394 posts)16. Wrong. The judge simply said that the deadline for Trump to file an opposition to Carroll's motion is July 7.
On June 30, Carroll filed a motion asking the court to order the disbursement of the funds owed Carroll. Under the ordinary rules, Trump would have 14 days to respond. However, Carroll simultaneously filed a motion to expedite the deadline for Trump to respond, giving him only until July 7. The judge granted that request to expedite, and Trump made a new request to reinstate the original 14 day deadline, and the judge denied that request. So the judge has not ordered the disbursement of funds on July 7 -- he has ordered Trump to file any opposition to Carroll's motion for disbursement by July 7.

That is not what the agreement provided. It set up a procedure for the release of the money - it is not "automatic."
