E Jean Carroll asks judge to order Donald Trump to pay $5m he owes her

Key Points:

• Journalist E Jean Carroll has asked a judge to compel Donald Trump to pay her nearly $5.8 million, including interest, following a jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her in the 1990s.
• Carroll's lawyers filed the request after the US Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal of the civil case verdict, accusing Trump of attempting to delay payment despite multiple failed legal challenges.
• The original verdict stemmed from Carroll's 2019 public accusation that Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996, which Trump has consistently denied, labeling the case politically motivated.
• Trump responded to the Supreme Court's refusal to review the case by calling it a "Fake Case" on social media and vowed to continue fighting the legal battle, while Carroll's lawyers insisted it is time for him to pay the awarded damages.
• Trump is also appealing an $83 million defamation award from a separate trial related to Carroll's claims, but lower courts have upheld the verdicts against him in both cases.
