United KingdomUS President Donald Trump has paid writer E Jean Carroll over $5 million in damages following a civil trial where he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. The payment includes the $5 million judgment plus accrued interest, totaling more than $5.62 million. Carroll, who is 82 years old, accused Trump of attacking her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s and later defaming her on his social media platform.
