Trump agrees to end court fight against $5m verdict in E Jean Carroll case

The verdict stems from Carroll's 2023 sexual abuse and defamation civil trial against Trump

Donald Trump has agreed to stop fighting in court the disbursement of E Jean Carroll's $5m verdict in her 2023 sexual abuse and defamation civil trial against him, a procedural development as these funds were already distributed to her.

While the decision does not change anything about Carroll's receipt of the payout, its revelation effectively means that Trump will no longer oppose the monetary outcome he had long fought.
