Writer E. Jean Carroll calls for Trump to pay $5.8M after high court appeal fails
Carroll’s lawyers said the award has grown to nearly $5.8 million with interest and asked for payment without further delay.
- On Tuesday, advice columnist E. Jean Carroll asked a judge to require President Donald Trump to pay the $5 million judgment awarded by a 2023 jury, following the Supreme Court's decision to decline his appeal.
- Lawyers for President Trump requested Carroll's consent to delay the payout while they seek reconsideration from the Supreme Court, but her attorney, Roberta Kaplan, opposed the delay as unjustified.
- Kaplan requested that the court direct President Trump to respond within seven days, by July 7, 2026, noting that with interest, the total amount owed has grown to nearly $5.8 million.
- President Trump promised on social media Monday to keep fighting the case, characterizing it as a "Weaponization and Lawfare Case" while accusing Carroll of political motives.
- Beyond this $5 million judgment, President Trump is also appealing a separate $83 million defamation award granted to Carroll in 2024, with lawyers indicating they will bring that case to the Supreme Court.
