Trump goes into debt to pay $92 million bail while appealing fine for defaming columnist Carroll. An insurance company guarantees the full amount while the former president faces another sanction of 454 million dollars for civil fraud.

In January, a federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in damages stemming from Trump's defamatory statements in which he denied raping her, said she wasn't his type, and accused her of making up the allegation to boost claims of a memoir. The amount of the bail is higher than the sentence because it includes the interest accrued since the day of the ruling, in January.
