Carroll Presses Trump Payment

E. Jean Carroll is asking a federal judge to order Donald Trump to pay the roughly $5 million civil judgment she won after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing her in the 1990s and defaming her in 2019. Her lawyers sought expedited action after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Trump’s appeal, leaving him with few avenues to avoid payment. The amount has grown to about $5.8 million with interest, and Carroll’s side argues it is time for Trump to release the money. Trump is seeking delay while he considers asking the Supreme Court to reconsider its refusal, extending a years-long legal fight over Carroll’s allegations and Trump’s denials.
