What Happened
E. Jean Carroll's legal team has formally requested a judge to order Donald Trump to pay the $5.8 million jury award. This demand comes after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal in the defamation and sexual abuse case.
Carroll, a writer, was awarded the sum by a jury in a previous ruling that found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. The jury's decision was based on claims stemming from an incident in the 1990s and subsequent statements made by Trump.
Following the Supreme Court's refusal to review the case, Carroll's attorneys stated that it is now 'time for him to pay.' They have initiated the process to ensure the judgment is satisfied, seeking the full amount awarded by the jury.
