A federal judge ordered the immediate release of nearly $5.8 million in damages and interest to writer E. Jean Carroll. E. Jean Carroll can collect this amount, which has been held in escrow since 2023 when a jury found Trump had sexually abused and defamed her. Trump's lawyers immediately appealed to stop the payment.
