A federal judge in Manhattan has ordered former President Donald Trump to pay $5.8 million to E. Jean Carroll following a jury's verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation against her. This decision comes after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal, allowing the court's previous order to proceed. E. Jean Carroll, a magazine writer, has accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a department store in the 1990s, which was central to the case presented in 2023.

The funds had been held in a trust pending the outcome of Trump's legal challenges. The judge, Lewis Kaplan, announced that the amount owed would be released to Carroll, thereby marking a significant moment in the long-running legal battle between the two. Trump's legal team had sought to delay the payment, but their attempts were unsuccessful as appellate courts upheld the initial ruling against him. The ruling reflects broader legal and civil accountability in high-profile cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct.
