Trump paid off rape accusers.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (25/100).

The claims about Trump paying off rape accusers are linked to court cases involving defamation and sexual abuse verdicts, particularly related to E. Jean Carroll. Trump was ordered to pay significant amounts in damages for defamation, not specifically to silence accusers through non-disclosure agreements or settlements related to rape allegations. No verified evidence supports the claim that Trump paid off accusers to prevent public rape allegations.
