Frequently asked questions about the China Capital investigation 
Writer E. Jean Carroll has collected over US$5.6 million that a jury awarded in her sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit against US President Donald Trump, court records and her lawyers said.
The payment – representing the US$5 million jury award, plus interest – was made Monday from an account where it had been held in escrow since the 2023 verdict, according to court records.
Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed the payment on Tuesday. “We are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment,” Kaplan said in a statement.
Trump’s lawyers have vowed to continue appealing.
Trump deposited the money in an escrow account shortly after the jury ruled against him. The US Supreme Court recently let the civil verdict stand, clearing the way for Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to release the money.
Trump’s lawyers then sought but were denied an emergency order to block the payment. The one-sentence denial set no conditions on how Carroll may use the money. Her lawyers have said in court papers that she plans to put it in a retirement account.
