Trump sex‑assault accuser Carroll finally gets US$5.6m payout after Supreme Court rejection and failed injunction
PARIS, Sept 25 — American journalist and writer E. Jean Carroll, the only person to successfully sue Donald Trump...
American journalist E. Jean Carroll has finally received her long-awaited $5.6 million payout from Donald Trump after the US Supreme Court rejected an attempt to challenge the damages awarded in a 1996 sexual assault case. Carroll's victory over Trump came after a seven-year legal battle that saw her receive $83.3 million in a separate defamation case.
Despite the financial relief, Carroll said she has no immediate plans to spend the money, stating she already knows how to be happy and joking about the prospect of AI-induced Armageddon. The 82-year-old, who has become an advocate for sexual assault survivors, expressed concern over the lack of support from powerful figures in the corporate world and civil society following her case.
