President Donald Trump won't have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, according to a court entry Tuesday, has agreed to let Trump delay the payment to E. Jean Carroll as long as he posts a $7.4 million bond to cover interest that would accrue through October. The appeals court in late April refused Trump's request for all of its judges to hear an appeal of a three-judge panel's affirmance of the January 2024 verdict.
The man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at the San Francisco home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder, attempted arson and other charges. Daniel Moreno-Gama didn't speak during Tuesday's arraignment on state charges as his lawyer entered the pleas on his behalf. The 20-year-old also faces federal charges. Prosecutors say Moreno-Gama, of Spring, Texas, hurled the flammable bomb at Altman's home last month, setting an exterior gate alight before fleeing on foot. They say he showed up at OpenAI's headquarters about an hour later and threatened to burn down the building.
