The website reports that a judge ordered E. Jean Carroll be paid $5.8 million after a jury found Trump sexually abused and defamed her. Trump is appealing $83 million in defamation compensation granted to Carroll by a separate jury.
Infact verdict: True (88/100).
The claims regarding E. Jean Carroll's legal proceedings against Donald Trump are largely supported by multiple credible sources. The evidence confirms that a judge ordered the release of $5.8 million to Carroll after a jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Additionally, Carroll's lawyers requested the disbursement after the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal. Trump is also appealing a separate $83 million defamation judgment. While most claims are well-supported, one claim inaccurately states the abuse occurred in 1996, which slightly affects its accuracy. Overall, the evidence strongly supports the factual basis of these claims.

E. Jean Carroll can be paid the $5.8 million that was set aside after a jury found three years ago that President Donald Trump sexually abused her in 1996.
The claim is supported by multiple sources, including WBAL-TV and The Indiana Lawyer, which confirm that E. Jean Carroll can be paid the $5.8 million set aside after a jury found Trump sexually abused and defamed her.
