Writer E. Jean Carroll has received $5.63 million from U.S. President Donald Trump after a federal judge ordered the release of the money following the end of his appeals in a civil case. A New York jury in 2023 found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages, with interest increasing the total payout. Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations and described the case as politically motivated. The U.S. Supreme Court recently declined to hear his appeal. A separate $83.3 million defamation judgment against Trump remains under appeal.
