A federal judge formally ordered Donald Trump to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll, endorsing the jury’s verdict from the defamation trial last month.
The judgment was made in a one-page order on Thursday.
The issuance of the judgment takes Carroll one step closer to obtaining her award, but it is only the beginning of a process that can take months or longer to play out, in part depending on how long the appeals process lasts.
This will be the second judgment Carroll has won against Trump. Last year a jury awarded her $5 million in damages after finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation for denying Carroll’s rape allegation, saying she wasn’t his type, and suggesting she made up the story to sell copies of a book.
He has not turned that money over yet.
She doesn’t have it, and won’t until the appeals are done, but my understanding is that the money has been turned over.
Thats about the $5M not the $83M
Yes? OP’s question was literally
I was also thinking they meant the 83m from this story. I was also wrong.
