E. Jean Carroll receives over $5 million from Trump following court judgment

E. Jean Carroll has received a total of $5,625,005.48 from former President Donald Trump as part of a judgment related to sexual abuse and defamation. This payment comes after a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll three years ago. The transfer was ordered by Judge Lewis Kaplan after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's request to review the case. Carroll's attorneys confirmed the payment was made and stated that she plans to use the funds for her retirement, placing them in an interest-bearing account until any further legal proceedings are resolved. Trump's legal team is continuing to contest the judgment, having sought intervention from a federal appeals court to halt the transfer of funds. The appeals court has not yet addressed this request. Carroll, who is 82 years old, is expected to receive the full amount, with her lawyers not taking fees from the award. Carroll previously testified in court about the alleged assault, which took place in the mid-1990s, and Trump has publicly denied the allegations.
