Donald Trump Pays $5.6 Million to E. Jean Carroll After Jury Verdict
US President Donald Trump has paid $5.6 million to writer E. Jean Carroll following a civil jury's unanimous verdict that found him liable for sexually assaulting and defaming her.

Carroll's attorney confirmed receipt of the damages awarded by the jury.
