Trump delays $5m sexual abuse payout to Jean Carroll; latter senses conspiracy

President Donald Trump has requested an extension to pay a $5 million civil judgment awarded to writer E Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation, citing the need for his new legal counsel to review the case. The payment, which has increased to nearly $5.8 million due to interest, remains in an escrow account. Carroll’s legal team accuses Trump of using the delay as a tactic to avoid immediate payment and potentially challenge the ruling further, including through a Supreme Court appeal. Trump denies the allegations, claiming the judgments are politically motivated and vows to continue fighting the case.
