The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

E. Jean Carroll has received $5,625,005.48 from President Donald Trump, covering a $5 million 2023 civil jury award plus interest in her sexual abuse and defamation case. Court records show the money, which Trump had placed in escrow during appeals, was released to Carroll’s lawyers on July 9 after U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the disbursement. A Manhattan federal jury found Trump liable in 2023 for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her. A separate $83.3 million defamation judgment Carroll won against Trump remains under appeal.
