Carroll receives $5.6 million from Trump years after verdict
TL;DR
Carroll has collected the $5,625,005.48 judgment (with interest) from Trump, the amount awarded by a 2023 jury for sexual abuse and defamation. The funds, held in a court escrow, were disbursed after the Supreme Court denied Trump’s appeal; his lawyers unsuccessfully tried to block the disbursement. Carroll plans to keep the money in an interest‑bearing account and use it for retirement, while a related $83 million defamation judgment and its appeals continue separately.
