Following A Court Order, US President Trump Pays More Than $5.62M As Compensation For Sexually Abusing Writer
Washington DC, United States: US President Donald Trump has paid writer E Jean Carroll more than $5m (around Rs 54 crore) in damages three years after a court found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the columnist in a civil case.
Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer for Carroll, said that the writer has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict on Tuesday. Carroll’ legal team has also confirmed that she had been paid more than $5.62m – the $5m awarded in damages plus the interest accrued during the appeal.

Notably, reports said that Trump was trying to delay the payment to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision not to hear his appeal of the case.
However, the judge ordered him to make the payment last week.
