    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former President Donald Trump has posted a $91.63 million bond as he appeals the judgment against him in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case.

    The notice of Trump’s bond and appeal was made with the federal court in New York on Friday.

    In January, a federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in damages as a result of Trump’s defamatory statements denying he raped her, saying she wasn’t his type, and accusing her of making up the allegation to boost sales of her book.

    Trump also faces a March 25 deadline to put up another $454 million in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case.

    In Carroll’s case, Trump has argued that the jury award is excessive and should be reduced.

    During the trial, Carroll’s lawyers told the jury that Trump should be punished with a large number in damages so that it actually gets him to stop his defamatory behavior.
