Writer E. Jean Carroll asked a judge to distribute the $5 million in damages owed to her by President Donald Trump after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal<\/u><\/span> of the 2023 jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation.<\/p>\n

In a court filing submitted shortly after the Supreme Court released its decision on Monday, Carroll\u2019s lawyers argued that Trump has hindered payment by \u201cslow-roll[ing] his defenses, asserting or inventing a new one each time his prior effort to delay the case fails.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her lawyers contend that Trump appeared to \u201cremarkably seek\u201d further delay of payment by \u201cconsidering whether to move for reconsideration of the Supreme Court\u2019s denial of his petition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this is the end of the line,\u201d the court document read.<\/p>\n

Federal judge Lewis Kaplan has not yet signed the order.<\/p>\n

Carroll alleged Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996 and detailed the incident in her 2019 memoir. Trump has vigorously denied the accusation, telling a reporter from The Hill<\/u><\/span> in 2019 that \u201cshe\u2019s not my type.\u201d Carroll filed a lawsuit shortly after, alleging he had defamed her character.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never met this person in my life,\u201d Trump said in a at the time. \u201cShe is trying to sell a new book; that should indicate her motivation. It should be sold in the fiction section.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was unable to seek damages because of a 20-year statute of limitations, but circumstances changed in 2022 when the state of New York passed the Adult Survivors Act, which allowed victims of sexual abuse to file lawsuits for time-expired cases for one year. Carroll also sued Trump in a separate case, seeking damages for battery relating to the assault, as well as defamation after Trump called her allegations a \u201ccomplete con job\u201d on social media.<\/p>\n

A nine-person jury found Trump liable for both battery and defamation in 2023, requiring Trump to pay $5 million in damages to Carroll.<\/p>\n

Trump vowed in a post to Truth Social<\/u><\/span> on Tuesday to \u201ccontinue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for,\u201d he continued, \u201cand should never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be!\u201d<\/p>\n
