Trump Pays $5M to Abuse Survivor E. Jean Carroll After Years of Legal Battle

E. Jean Carroll has received over $5 million from Donald Trump following a sexual abuse and defamation judgment, marking the latest step in their three-year legal battle. The verdict found Trump had sexually abused Carroll, a former columnist for New York magazine, during a 2006 encounter at Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room. This transfer comes after a jury initially awarded Carroll $5 million in damages in November 2022.
