E. Jean Carroll collects more than $5 million from Trump 3 years after a jury found him liable of sexual abuse and defamation

E. Jean Carroll has collected her $5 million judgment against President Donald Trump, more than three years after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, court records show.

The money, which was being held in a court escrow account, has been “disbursed” to Carroll’s attorneys, the court filing shows. The amount totalled $5,625,005.48 with interest.

The case arose from a 2022 suit Carroll filed in New York alleging Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store after a chance encounter in 1996, and then defamed he after she came forward with her claims in 2019. Trump maintains he does not know Carroll and didn’t commit any wrongdoing.

NBC News reached out to lawyers for both Carroll and Trump.
