Trump Wants E. Jean Carroll to Return the $5.6M He Paid for Sexual Abuse and Defamation

Trump’s lawyers say the final judgment should be reversed, while Carroll’s team calls the request procedurally improper and meritless.

Summary
President Donald Trump is trying to force E Jean Carroll to pay back the $5.6 million he was ordered to pay the former Elle magazine writer after a federal jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. That money was disbursed to Carroll from a court-controlled escrow account on July 9. But the president’s legal team is seeking an emergency injunction that would order Carroll to return the payment to the account in the hopes that the Supreme Court will reverse the judgment, sending the money back to him.
