The New York journalist E Jean Carroll has asked a judge to mandate that Donald Trump pay her the $5m she is owed from a jury verdict that found the US president liable for sexually abusing her in the 1990s and defaming her after she publicly described in 2019 being attacked by him in a city department store.
Lawyers for Carroll filed papers in a federal court in Manhattan late on Tuesday, one day after the US supreme court refused to hear Trump’s appeal of the civil case verdict in 2023.
