Judge Orders Payment of Damages to E. Jean Carroll
Court mandates immediate payout for abuse and defamation.
Event Overview
Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the immediate release of $5.8 million, including interest, to E. Jean Carroll from a court-controlled account. The payment follows a 2023 jury verdict finding Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in 1996 and subsequently defaming her. The ruling comes after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal of the civil verdict. Trump's legal team attempted to block the payment, citing concerns over presidential immunity and the potential for unrecoverable loss.
