E. Jean Carroll has received $5.625 million—comprising a $5 million jury award plus three years’ interest—from Donald Trump after a Manhattan federal jury found him liable for sexually assaulting her in 1996 and later defaming her by denying the assault and calling her a liar. The payment, ordered by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan and finalized after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump’s appeal, marks the resolution of that specific civil case. However, a separate $83 million defamation award against Trump remains pending, as he continues to contest it through appeals.
