E. Jean Carroll Seeks Court Order for Damages from Donald Trump

E. Jean Carroll has requested a judge to enforce the payment of $5.7 million in damages owed to her by President Donald Trump, following the Supreme Court's decision not to hear his appeal regarding a jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. In a court filing made after the Supreme Court's decision, Carroll's legal team claimed that Trump has delayed payment by continuously introducing new defenses. They noted that Trump is considering further delaying the payment by potentially seeking reconsideration of the Supreme Court's denial of his petition. Carroll accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996, a claim he has denied. In 2023, a jury found Trump liable for both battery and defamation, resulting in the damages awarded to Carroll. Trump has stated his intention to contest the verdict, describing the case as an attack on the United States.
