E Jean Carroll Receives $5.6 Million from Trump Defamation Case
E Jean Carroll has received $5.6 million from a jury award related to her lawsuit against US President Donald Trump. The payment, which includes a $5 million jury award and interest, was confirmed by Carroll's lawyer. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted Carroll in 1996 and later defamed her after she recounted the incident in her 2019 memoir. Following the verdict, Trump deposited the compensation in an escrow account. The Supreme Court recently upheld the civil verdict, allowing the funds to be released. Carroll plans to deposit the money into a retirement account. Trump is also challenging an additional $83 million defamation award from a separate trial.
