A federal judge ruled Wednesday that E. Jean Carroll can receive the $5.8 million awarded to her after a 2023 jury found that President Donald Trump sexually abused her in 1996 and later defamed her when he denied her allegations.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan directed the release of the money from a court escrow account, along with the interest that has accrued since the verdict, after the Supreme Court refused last week to hear the president\u2019s appeal of the award.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The move came after Trump\u2019s attorneys sought to delay the payment for what would have been at least several more months.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s attorneys had asked the judge to give them more time before releasing the money while they ask the high court its decision.<\/p>\n

Asked about Kaplan\u2019s order, a spokesperson for Trump\u2019s legal team said in a statement, \u201cThe American people stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawyers for Carroll said their client, whom Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming, had already waited long enough. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The case arose from a 2022 suit Carroll filed in New York alleging that Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store after a chance encounter in 1996. The defamation claims stemmed from comments he made about her after his first term in office, including calling her claims as a \u201ccon job\u201d and \u201choax.\u201d He maintains he does not know Carroll and didn\u2019t commit any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
