Author E. Jean Carroll Finally Receives Her $5.6 Million Payout From Donald Trump in Sexual Abuse and Defamation Lawsuit

Writer E. Jean Carroll has been paid over $5.6 million from Donald Trump, three years after a jury found the president liable in her sexual abuse and defamation case against him.

According to court documents, a hefty sum of $5,625,005.48 was paid out to the law firm of Carroll’s attorney on July 9.

“Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll,” her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, told CNBC on Tuesday, July 14.

“Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict,” she continued.

One day prior to the cash being distributed, Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the POTUS, 80, to pay Carroll, saying he “has been stalling this case for years.”

Last month, the Supreme Court denied Trump's bid to overturn the payout. A U.S. appeals court in New York then denied the businessman's request to block Carroll, 82, from collecting the money.

Trump was found liable in Carroll's case in May 2023 and was demanded to pay her the $5 million.

The author's lawsuit stated Trump sexually abused her at the New York City department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s.

She then said he defamed her in 2019 when she went public with the information.

In a separate case about the defamation claim, a Manhattan jury ordered Trump to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages in January 2024. The president previously denied all allegations against him and filed appeals for both suits, with the money remaining in the court fund until now.

Trump's attorneys attempted to hinder the "Ask E. Jean" columnist's disbursement, arguing the politician faced “unrecoverable loss” once she receives the money because she “has repeatedly stated that she intends to give away all funds that she collects from him."

"Once those funds are distributed to third parties, they likely cannot be recovered,” the lawyers previously said. At the time of Carroll's sexual abuse court case, she claimed Trump raped her, however, he was not found liable for that accusation.

He also blasted the journalist on his Truth Social account in 2023 and claimed he doesn't even know her.

"I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS," Trump wrote following the court's ruling that he had to pay Carroll. "THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE - A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!"
