Carroll Receives $5.6M Judgment | Global News

E. Jean Carroll has finally received over $5.6 million from her landmark civil judgment against Donald Trump, a payout held in escrow since last year’s verdict and now finalized after the Supreme Court upheld the ruling. Trump’s legal team attempted to block the payment, but their efforts failed. Carroll’s lawyers say she’ll invest the money in retirement, marking a major milestone after years of legal battles. The jury originally found Trump guilty of sexual assault in 1996 and defamation for his response in her 2019 memoir — claims he denies, calling her a liar. This isn’t the only judgment against him: another jury awarded her $83 million in a separate defamation case earlier this year. Trump’s lawyers are still pursuing appeals to challenge the verdicts, while New York’s changed laws enabled survivors to sue for past assaults — keeping the legal saga alive.
