E. Jean Carroll Just Got Her $5.6M Payment From Trump

Original version ·

The check finally cleared, proving that even legal battles involving former presidents eventually hit the payout phase.

After years of court appeals and public back-and-forth, writer E. Jean Carroll officially secured her $5.6 million payout from Donald Trump.

A jury had already found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, but actually getting the cash was the real waiting game. Now the money has officially landed in her hands, closing out one of the most talked-about court battles in recent memory.

Turns out delaying legal payouts only works until the bank transfer actually completes.
