Trump Ordered to Pay Carroll | Madison News

The Supreme Court just shut down Donald Trump’s last-ditch effort to dodge a $5.6 million payment to E. Jean Carroll — a verdict he lost three years ago after being found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The high court rejected his request to revisit the case, leaving the money already in escrow with interest accruing. Carroll’s lawsuits began in 2019 over defamation, then escalated in 2022 after new laws allowed victims of past abuse to sue — resulting in the jury awarding her $5 million. Trump’s team called the legal battle a “witch hunt” and vowed to keep fighting what they label “Liberal Lawfare.” While this payout is settled, Trump still faces an $83 million judgment from another pending case — and the Supreme Court remains his final, unlikely hope.
