E.
Jean Carroll has finally received payment from President Donald Trump, more than three years after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.
Carroll officially received $5.62 million, including interest, after the U. S.
Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal. The money had been held in a court-controlled account.
Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's attorney, confirmed the payment in a statement. "Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E.
Jean Carroll.
Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict."
The Supreme Court's decision on June 29 not to take up Trump's appeal left intact the 2023 civil verdict that awarded Carroll $5 million.
With interest added during the lengthy legal fight, the final payout reached $5.62 million.
The case stems from Carroll's allegation that Trump sexually assaulted her in a dressing room in the mid-1990s after they crossed paths while shopping.
A federal jury unanimously found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, but not liable for rape under New York's legal definition.
While this financial chapter is closed, the legal battle continues.
Trump is still appealing a separate 2024 jury verdict ordering him to pay Carroll roughly $83 million for additional defamatory statements he made about her after she first came forward with her allegations.
