NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 The writer E. Jean Carroll has collected over $5.6 million that a jury awarded in her sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit against President Trump, court records and her lawyers said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The payment \u2014 representing the $5 million jury award, plus interest \u2014 was made Monday from an account where it had been held in escrow since the 2023 verdict, according to court records. Carroll\u2019s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed the payment Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment,\u201d Kaplan said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trump\u2019s lawyers have vowed to continue appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump deposited the money in an escrow account shortly after the jury ruled against him. The U.S. Supreme Court recently let the civil verdict stand, clearing the way for Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to release the money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
