Writer E. Jean Carroll calls for Trump to pay $5.8M after high court appeal fails

E. Jean Carroll, an advice columnist, requested a judge to compel President Donald Trump to pay $5.8 million, including interest, following a 2023 civil jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Carroll's lawyers argued Trump unjustly delayed the payout and resumed defamatory attacks against her, while Trump vowed to continue fighting the case. The Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal.
