Trump Ordered to Pay Over $5.6 Million to E. Jean Carroll After Appeals Exhausted
The U. S. Supreme Court refused to hear President Donald Trump’s appeal of the New York jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll. After the high court’s denial, Carroll filed a motion in Manhattan federal court seeking enforcement of the roughly $5.
8 million judgment. The judge rejected Trump’s request for a postponement and set a deadline for his response, while the Second Circuit Court of Appeals also turned down an emergency request to delay payment. Subsequently, the federal judge ordered the escrowed funds to be released, directing that more than $5. 6 million, including interest, be paid to Carroll. Trump complied with the order, and the payment was transferred to Carroll, completing the judgment after the appellate avenues were exhausted.
