Writer E. Jean Carroll has received more than $5.6 million from President Donald Trump, bringing to a close one chapter of the years-long legal battle stemming from a jury's 2023 finding that Trump sexually abused and defamed her.
The payment includes the original $5 million judgment plus accrued interest after Trump's appeals were exhausted. The money was released from a federal court registry after the U.S. Supreme Court declined in late June to hear Trump's appeal of the 2023 verdict, leaving intact the jury's decision.
