A federal district court in Manhattan has ordered President Trump to pay the $5 million judgment (plus interest) that E. Jean Carroll won against him in a 2023 trial, at which a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Trump had been permitted to delay paying the judgment while he appealed to the higher courts. As I explained last week, however, the Supreme Court declined to review the case toward the end of its term. That was after the federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit rejected Trump’s appeals of both the verdict and the denial of his immunity claim by Judge Lewis Kaplan (a Clinton appointee in the Southern District of New York, who presided over the case).
