E. Jean Carroll receives $5.6M from Trump in sex abuse, defamation case: Court filing
The payment includes interest after a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and his Supreme Court appeal failed.
- On Tuesday, Jean Carroll received $5.62 million in damages after the Supreme Court rejected President Trump's appeal to block payment from a court-controlled account.
- In 2023, a unanimous jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million stemming from allegations of assault three decades ago at a New York City Bergdorf Goodman.
- Carroll's lawyers argued the allegations fit a "modus operandi" for Trump, citing an Access Hollywood video clip where he described grabbing women's genitals; the jury deliberated for under three hours.
- Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's attorney, hailed the victory in a statement to CBS News, while Carroll celebrated on her Substack blog, writing "WE WON!" and "THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD!"
- Trump has appealed a separate verdict that awarded Carroll $83 million, and lawyers for the former president have indicated they intend to bring that ongoing case to the Supreme Court as well.
