A federal judge has denied President Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to delay a $5.8 million payout to E. Jean Carroll years after she won a civil defamation case against him related to sex-abuse allegations.
Trump has been trying to toss the 2022 verdict for years after a jury found him liable for sexual abuse against Carroll, a former Elle magazine writer. The president, who has consistently denied Carroll’s allegations and accused her of lying, was also found liable for defaming the writer in a separate case.
