Carroll Receives $5.6M Verdict Payment | Albany News

E. Jean Carroll has officially received over $5.6 million from a jury verdict against Donald Trump, including the original $5 million award plus interest, after years of legal battle over a 1996 sexual assault allegation and defamation claims tied to her memoir. The funds, held in escrow since last year’s verdict, were released after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump’s appeal and a judge denied his team’s emergency request to block the payout. Trump continues to deny the allegations and is pursuing further appeals to reverse or halt the payment, even as Carroll plans to invest the money into retirement. This settlement is separate from a separate $83 million defamation award she won earlier this year, also under appeal.
