E. Jean Carroll Wants Trump To Pay Her $5 Million ASAP As Judge Speeds Up Case
Forbes • • nation
Key Points:
- E. Jean Carroll's attorneys state that Donald Trump owes her a total of $5.8 million, including a $5 million judgment and nearly $780,000 in accrued interest, with most of the principal amount already paid into a court-controlled account.
- Carroll’s legal team has ended their cooperation regarding payment delays, urging the court to require Trump to pay the owed amount immediately after his previous requests for delays were denied.
- It is uncertain how soon Judge Kaplan will rule on the immediate payment, and Trump may seek Supreme Court review; Carroll also has a separate $83.3 million defamation judgment against Trump currently on hold pending appeal.
- Trump’s net worth is estimated at $6 billion by Forbes, making the amounts owed to Carroll a relatively small fraction of his overall wealth.
- Carroll alleges Trump raped her in the 1990s, which he denies; she sued for defamation after his public denials, resulting in two separate lawsuits with substantial judgments against Trump, both of which he has appealed and continues to contest.
