E. Jean Carroll Finally Receives $5.6M from Trump After Defamation and Sexual Abuse Verdict
After a long legal battle, writer E. Jean Carroll has received a wire transfer of $5,625,005.48 from former President Donald Trump. A federal judge ordered the payment after the Supreme Court declined Trump’s petition to block the funds. The 82-year-old plans to place the money in an interest-bearing account for her retirement. Her attorneys will not take any fees from this payout, which covers the original $5 million verdict plus accumulated interest. Trump’s legal team is still appealing and has asked a federal appeals court to freeze the funds pending further review. Meanwhile, Carroll’s case highlights the defamation and sexual abuse rulings that found Trump liable in two separate trials.
