E. Jean Carroll Asks Judge to Order Trump to Pay $5 Million Jury Award

Key Points:

• Writer E. Jean Carroll has asked a federal judge to order President Trump to pay a multimillion-dollar civil judgment awarded to her three years ago, after the Supreme Court declined to review the case.
• The jury found Mr. Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Ms. Carroll, awarding her $5 million, which has grown to nearly $5.8 million with interest; Trump placed the money in escrow during his appeals.
• Ms. Carroll’s lawyers rejected a request from Trump’s legal team for a delay in enforcing the judgment, emphasizing that after four years of litigation, it is time for Trump to pay.
• Following the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the case, Ms. Carroll celebrated the decision, while Trump called the lawsuit a “Fake Case” and vowed to continue fighting the claims.
• A separate defamation case against Trump, resulting in an $83.3 million verdict for Ms. Carroll in January 2024, may also be taken to the Supreme Court by Trump’s lawyers.
