Judge Orders Release of Carroll's $5 Million Trump Award
The award includes nearly $800,000 in interest after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump’s appeal, and his lawyers immediately sought to stop payment.
- On Wednesday, Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the release of more than $5 million to Jean Carroll, rejecting President Donald Trump's attempt to delay paying the columnist after a jury found he sexually abused and defamed her.
- Trump's attorneys had asked the court to withhold funds until the Supreme Court rules on his motion for reconsideration, arguing that distributing the money would cause "irreparable harm" to the president if the judgment were later overturned.
- Following the Supreme Court's denial of Trump's appeal last week, Carroll's lawyers requested the disbursement; Kaplan's order includes interest accumulated since the jury verdict three years ago.
- A spokesperson for Trump's legal team characterized the case as a "Democrat-funded" effort and part of ongoing "Witch Hunts," stating that "The American People" continue to support the president as he focuses on "Make America Great Again."
- Addressing one of two lawsuits brought against Trump, this ruling precedes his plan to ask the Supreme Court to review a separate jury award of $83 million to Carroll for defamation regarding statements made in 2022.
