Trump Faces $5.8M Sexual Abuse Verdict | Denver News

E. Jean Carroll is set to receive $5.8 million after a jury found Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed her — a verdict upheld by the Supreme Court — though Trump’s legal team is already fighting to block the payment. The amount includes interest on the original $5 million award from 2023, stemming from an alleged department store encounter Trump denies ever happening. Separately, Carroll won $83 million in defamation damages earlier this year, which Trump is also appealing — and his lawyers were furious about trial rules that prevented them from claiming the incident never occurred. This high-stakes legal saga shows no signs of slowing down. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
