E. Jean Carroll has received a payment of approximately $5.6 million from Donald Trump, following a civil case involving sexual abuse and defamation. Court records confirm the transfer of funds. The payment concludes a specific portion of the financial damages awarded to Carroll.
The funds, totaling $5.62 million, represent the judgment amount related to the finding that Trump sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll. According to official court records, the money had been secured while Trump pursued appeals to stay the execution of the judgment. The release of these funds indicates that the legal mechanisms used to delay payment have been exhausted for this specific award.
