Trump Wants E. Jean Carroll to Return the $5.6M He Paid for Sexual Abuse and Defamation
Trump’s lawyers say the final judgment should be reversed, while Carroll’s team calls the request procedurally improper and meritless.
- On July 9, President Donald Trump paid E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million from a court-controlled escrow account after the Supreme Court refused his appeal in June, completing the first phase of their three-year legal battle.
- A nine-person federal jury unanimously found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll in the mid-1990s and early 2020s, awarding damages that Trump exhausted legal channels attempting to overturn.
- In a Monday legal filing, Carroll's lawyers wrote Trump 'has engaged in a series of maneuvers trying desperately to forestall payment,' characterizing his reclaim demand as part of a pattern of delay tactics.
- Carroll's legal team rejected Trump's Monday injunction bid, calling it 'procedurally improper, substantively meritless,' while warning his attacks create a 'domino effect' causing 'ongoing and prolific harassment' and death threats.
- A separate $83.3 million defamation judgment remains under appellate review with Carroll not yet receiving payment, presenting immunity questions that legal observers suggest may warrant Supreme Court attention.
