Episode Details

A Manhattan judge has approved a $5.8 million payout to E. Jean Carroll, covering damages and interest from a 2023 civil verdict that found Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed her. Trump’s legal team is fighting to halt payment, arguing he’d be unfairly harmed if forced to pay now only to win an appeal — potentially losing the money later. They’re also pushing for a rehearing, hoping a different legal issue could overturn the ruling. The case stems from Carroll’s 1990s allegations of rape against Trump, which he denies, calling them a political hoax. A jury awarded her $5 million for abuse and defamation, and she’s also seeking $83.3 million in another defamation case tied to the same claims. Carroll’s lawyers say Trump is trying to avoid paying, and the legal battle shows no sign of ending.
