Episode Details

E. Jean Carroll is finally getting paid — a judge has ordered Donald Trump to hand over over $5.8 million he owes her, stemming from a civil verdict finding him liable for sexual assault and defamation. The money, which includes interest, had been sitting in Trump’s account since the initial May 2023 jury award, and he had been trying to delay its release after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. Carroll, now 82, alleges the assault occurred in a department store dressing room in the 1990s, and Trump later called her story a hoax on social media. Trump has long claimed Judge Lewis Kaplan unfairly allowed evidence that swayed the jury — but a federal appeals court last year upheld the verdict, confirming no legal errors were made. With the legal battle settled, the funds are now cleared for release — a major victory after years of courtroom drama.
