E. Jean Carroll has been awarded $5,625,005.48 following a federal jury's unanimous decision that found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming her. The payment was confirmed through a court filing and was disbursed to Carroll's attorney's law firm on July 9.
Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, expressed satisfaction with the payment, emphasizing that it fulfills the jury's verdict from three years ago. This development comes after Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered Trump to pay Carroll, dismissing his attempts to delay the payment, which he had been stalling for years.
Additionally, a U.S. appeals court denied Trump's request to prevent Carroll from collecting the awarded damages, which he had previously deposited with the court. This case highlights ongoing legal challenges for Trump and may have implications for his public image and financial standing
