NEWSAR · AI

A federal judge has ordered Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll over $5.8 million, including accrued interest, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. This ruling stems from a 2023 jury verdict that found Trump sexually abused and defamed Carroll. Carroll's lawyers had requested the funds be released following the Supreme Court's June 29 decision. Trump's legal team stated this was the "end of the line" for his appeal efforts. Carroll first accused Trump of sexual assault in 2019, and he denied the allegations, which she argued defamed her. She filed subsequent lawsuits based on his denials.

Trump denied the allegation, saying he had never met Carroll, accusing her of lying to sell books and for political reasons, and calling the claim a “hoax.”Carroll sued him for defamation over those comments later that year, accusing him of damaging her reputation by suggesting she had lied for personal gain. She filed a second lawsuit in 2022, accusing Trump of battery/sexual abuse and defamation over another denial he posted on Truth Social in 2022, again calling the allegation a hoax.
