The money, which was being held in a court escrow account, has been \u201cdisbursed\u201d to Carroll\u2019s attorneys, the court filing shows. The amount totaled $5,625,005.48 with interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict, Carroll\u2019s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed in an emailed statement<\/p>\n

NBC News reached out to a representative for Trump\u2019s legal team.<\/p>\n

The case arose from a 2022 suit Carroll filed in New York alleging Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store after a chance encounter in 1996, and then defamed he after she came forward with her claims in 2019. Trump maintains he does not know Carroll and didn\u2019t commit any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

A jury found Trump liable in 2023 and awarded Carroll $5 million, but the money remained in the court fund while Trump filed various appeals. <\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ordered the money to be turned over to Carroll earlier this month, after the U.S. Supreme Court denied Trump\u2019s bid to hear his appeal. <\/p>\n

The president\u2019s attorneys unsuccessfully tried to block the disbursement, arguing their client faced \u201cunrecoverable loss\u201d once Carroll collects because she \u201chas repeatedly stated that she intends to give away all funds that she collects from him,\u201d and \u201conce those funds are distributed to third parties, they likely cannot be recovered,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

In a filing to the appeals court last week, Carroll\u2019s attorneys said the money isn\u2019t going anywhere, at least for the time being. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"E.
