He has already paid $5.6 million with interest. A second verdict of $83.3 million is still pending. On Monday the US Supreme Court refused for a second time to take up Donald Trump's challenge to the E. Jean Carroll verdict. The order was one sentence long, with no explanation and no noted dissents. It ends a case that began in 2019, when Carroll went public with the claim that Trump had assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s and he called it a hoax. A civil jury decided in May 2023 that Trump was liable for sexually abusing and defaming her and awarded $5 million. The same jury did not find that he had raped her; under New York law those are separate findings, and the judge later wrote that what the jury did find would be called rape in ordinary speech but not under the statute. This was a civil case, so there is no conviction and no criminal record. Trump has already paid $5.6 million with interest. A second verdict, $83.3 million for defamation in the case Carroll filed in 2019, is still pending at the Supreme Court and will not be decided until later this year.
