E. Jean Carroll Secures $5 Million Judgment Against Donald Trump

E. Jean Carroll Receives Payment Following Court Ruling

E. Jean Carroll has successfully received her $5 million judgment from former President Donald Trump, over three years after a jury held him accountable for both sexual abuse and defamation. This information is based on court records.

The funds were previously stored in a court escrow account. According to the court filing, they have now been released to Carroll’s legal team. With accrued interest, the total amount disbursed reached $5,625,005.48.

Details of the Case

The case originated from a 2022 lawsuit filed by Carroll in New York. She alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store dressing room following an unexpected meeting in 1996. After Carroll publicly shared her claims in 2019, Trump allegedly defamed her. Trump continues to assert that he does not know Carroll and denies any misconduct.

Response from Legal Representatives

NBC News has contacted the legal representatives for both Carroll and Trump regarding the matter. As of now, responses are awaited.
