Episode Details

A federal judge has approved E. Jean Carroll’s $5.8 million civil award from Donald Trump, including the original $5 million jury verdict and $800,000 in interest — a decision finalized after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. The ruling confirms Trump’s civil liability for sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room in the 90s and defaming her publicly. Trump had previously set aside $5.5 million to cover potential costs during his appeal, allowing interest to accrue. This judgment, while not a criminal conviction, underscores the jury’s belief in Carroll’s testimony and holds Trump accountable for the harm he caused. It also comes alongside a separate, even larger $83.3 million defamation award from a 2024 trial still pending appeal.
