E. Jean Carroll paid US$5.6 million owed by Trump in sex abuse and defamation case

Writer E. Jean Carroll has received a total of $5.6 million from a jury award in her sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit against former U.S. President Donald Trump. The amount includes the original $5 million judgment plus accrued interest, which was released from an escrow account following a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing the verdict to stand. Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed the payment, stating that Carroll plans to deposit the funds into a retirement account. Trump’s legal team has continued to appeal the ruling, though they were denied an emergency request to block the payment.
