E. Jean Carroll Receives Over $5 Million in Sexual Abuse and Defamation Case Against Trump
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
NEW YORK — E. Jean Carroll has received the $5 million judgment awarded to her against President Donald Trump, more than three years after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing her and defaming her, according to court records. The money, which was held in a court escrow account, has been 'disbursed' to Carroll's attorneys, the court documents indicate. The total amount came to $5,625,005.48, including interest. 'We are pleased to report that she has received the damages awarded by the jury as a result of that verdict,' confirmed Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, in a statement emailed to the press. A spokesperson for Trump's legal team stated that 'the American people stand with President Trump and demand the immediate end to all witch hunts, including the Democrat-funded farce in the Carroll case. President Trump will continue to prevail against the liberal legal war while remaining focused on his mission to make America great again.' The case originated from a lawsuit filed by Carroll in New York in 2022, in which she alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her in a Manhattan department store fitting room after a chance encounter in 1996, and subsequently defamed her after she made her allegations public in 2019. Trump maintains that he does not know Carroll and that he committed no wrongdoing.
