... The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied the president's emergency motion to temporarily suspend the court-ordered payment late Wednesday.

The decision came shortly after Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the release of $5 million in court-held funds to the beleaguered columnist, more than three years after Trump was found civilly liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in a department store in late 1995.

The last-minute stay was a Hail Mary thrown by Trump's legal team, who had tried to appeal the case to the Supreme Court earlier this week. But the nation's highest judiciary ultimately rejected the request on Tuesday ...

Petitioning SCOTUS for rehearing the denial of the petition for writ of certiorari and a promise they are shortly to file a new petition for writ of certiorari, so they should vacate the last denial pending filing of a new petition.
