President Donald Trump’s settlement payment of over $5.6 million has been electronically wired to columnist E. Jean Carroll after a court found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.

Court records from Tuesday show Carroll was wired a payment of $5,625,005.48 last week, in line with the court order from President Bill Clinton-appointed federal Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. Kaplan ordered Trump to pay Carroll the original $5 million awarded to her by a New York jury in 2023, plus any interest that had accrued since that date.

The 2023 jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in a New York City department store dressing room in 1996 and for subsequently defaming her as he denied the allegations in 2022. Trump has consistently denied Carroll’s allegations and has fought the jury’s finding.

Trump initially attempted to halt the payment by arguing was still petitioning the Supreme Court to reconsider its refusal to hear the case. The Supreme Court had declined to hear his appeal of the Carroll verdict in late June, and Trump’s second Supreme Court appeal is a Hail Mary attempt as he seeks to challenge the Manhattan jury’s verdict.

But Kaplan, the federal judge in the Southern District of New York, returned the order on Wednesday, requiring the payment to be made immediately. The court record, which populated on Tuesday, shows that the funds were disbursed to Carroll last Thursday.

Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, also confirmed that her client received the $5.6 million payment and that the funds would be placed “in an interest-bearing account until Defendant’s petition for rehearing is denied,” according to CNN.

“Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict,” Roberta Kaplan said in a statement.

The Washington Examiner has reached out to Trump’s legal team for comment. A spokesman for his legal team, Aaron Harrison, told the New York Times that “the American people stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the witch hunts, including the Democrat funded travesty of the Carroll hoaxes.”

The president is also in the process of appealing to the Supreme Court an additional $83.3 million awarded to Carroll in a separate defamation trial.
