Donald Trump fought tooth and nail against E. Jean Carroll receiving a $5.5 million payout after a Manhattan jury found him liable for sexually abusing her. At every step of the way, Trump’s legal team attempted to block the payout, and even attempted to claw back the money after it had been paid to her.
Trump protested his innocence throughout, claiming the trial was a “con job”, maintaining he’d “never met” her and arguing, “This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for.”
