Sexual Assault: Trump Bows to Justice and Pays $5.6 Million to E. Jean Carroll

Donald Trump paid $5.63 million to E. Jean Carroll after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. The payment covers damages for sexual abuse and defamation awarded by a jury in May 2023, plus interest. Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed receipt of the funds. The case dates back to an alleged assault in 1996 at Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan.
