A federal judge on Wednesday ordered President Trump to pay E Jean Carroll $5 million – plus interest – after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s bid to toss the sexual abuse case.

A Manhattan jury previously reached a verdict in the E. Jean Carroll rape/defamation case and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million.

In 2019, E. Jean Carroll alleged Donald Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990’s.

Trump has denied the allegations and called E. Jean Carroll a “whack job” who’s “not my type.”

Carroll previously said ‘rape is sexy’ and a ‘fantasy’ – CNN’s Anderson Cooper was so disturbed he cut to a commercial break.

The jury decided that E. Jean Carroll did not prove Trump raped her.

However, the jury said E. Jean Carroll proved Trump sexually abused her when he ‘inserted fingers into her vagina.’

On Wednesday, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, ordered Trump to pay E Jean Carroll $5.8 million.

Judge Kaplan’s order comes after Trump’s lawyers filed a late night court filing asking the judge to hold off on ordering the payout until the Supreme Court responds to a request to reconsider its emergency application.

CNCB reported:

A New York federal judge on Wednesday ordered that E. Jean Carroll be paid $5 million plus interest for damages from a verdict holding President Donald Trump civilly liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer.

The order came hours after Trump’s lawyers, in a late Tuesday night court filing, urged Judge Lewis Kaplan not to disburse nearly $5.8 million to Carroll to satisfy the May 2023 jury verdict.

Trump’s lawyers said that money cannot be released to Carroll under an agreement unless and until the Supreme Court rejects the president’s new, long-shot bid for reconsideration of his petition that the high court take his appeal of that verdict.

The Supreme Court very rarely grants such requests after having denied an initial petition to take an appeal, as it did on June 29 in saying it would not hear Trump’s appeal.

Trump’s lawyers petitioned the Supreme Court for a rehearing of its denial, according to the new filing, which included a copy of that request, dated Monday.

In a separate defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, In January 2024, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll.
