Courts Deliver Third E. Jean Carroll Win in 24 Hours as $5M Judgment Closes in on Trump

The New Republic—Donald Trump suffered a third consecutive legal defeat related to E. Jean Carroll within a single 24-hour stretch, as courts continued to reject his efforts to delay or escape the $5 million judgment against him. Carroll was described as on the verge of actually collecting the money, a significant development in the long-running defamation and sexual abuse case. Even conservative legal analysts acknowledged Trump's prospects in the Carroll litigation looked dim. The string of losses marks a major setback for the former president's legal strategy in one of the highest-profile civil cases against him.

• The New Republic — Trump lost three E. Jean Carroll-related court decisions in a single 24-hour period
• Talking Points Memo — Carroll appeared close to forcing Trump to pay the $5 million she won at trial
