Donald Trump has paid $5.6 million to author E. Jean Carroll following a civil trial in which a jury found him liable for sexual assault and defamation, according to court documents released on Tuesday.

The payment — representing the $5 million jury award, plus interest — was made Monday from an account where it had been held in escrow since the 2023 verdict. Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, confirmed the payment Tuesday.

“We are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment,” Kaplan said in a statement. Carroll herself later wrote on Substack that “the eagle has landed.”

The U.S. Supreme Court recently let the civil verdict stand, clearing the way for Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to release the money. Trump’s lawyers had sought but were denied an emergency order to block the payment.

Trump's lawyers have vowed to continue appealing. They deposited the money in an escrow account shortly after the jury ruled against him. Trump’s attorneys have since filed another appeal seeking to stop or reverse the payment.

A jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in 1996 in a New York luxury department store dressing room and defaming her after she told the story publicly in a memoir in 2019, during his first term as president.

Trump insisted nothing sexual happened between him and Carroll, now 82, a former advice columnist. He claimed she was “totally lying” and “not my type” in a 2019 interview.

Carroll sued Trump after New York changed its laws to give sexual abuse survivors a fresh chance to sue over attacks that happened in the distant past.

Trump is also appealing $83 million in defamation compensation granted to Carroll by a separate Manhattan jury after a 2024 trial where Trump briefly testified.

New Mexico AG, federal DOJ clash over Epstein records A public dispute between New Mexicos attorney general and the U.S. Justice Department escalated Tuesday over records sought in the states Jeffrey Epstein investigation.Why it matters: The clash underscores questions about whether federal privacy restrictions and court orders are preventing state investigators from pursuing potential criminal leads tied to Epsteins former Zorro Ranch in New Mexico.Zoom in: New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez doubled down Tuesday on claims that the federal DOJ is "hindering" his investigation by "withholding" unredacted Epstein files, accusing the federal agency in a letter of refusing to cooperate.In a letter last month to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Torrez said that despite "verbal assurances of cooperation from the USDOJ, access to the requested records has not been granted, no substantive response has been provided." The letter gave the U.S. DOJ until July 31, after which, he wrote "the NMDOJ will treat this request as denied and will pursue all available legal remedies."The New Mexico DOJ office said on X Tuesday afternoon that the U.S. Justice Departments Southern District of New York office "called to inform us they will NOT cooperate and will not support the only active criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein."Yes, but: A spokesperson for the U.S. DOJ called that characterization "false" in a statement to Axios.To "capitulate to their demands would be to break federal law. Is that what the NM AG is suggesting?" the spokesperson said."Federal law, court orders and privacy protections for victims and witnesses do not allow us to release millions of unredacted documents, regardless of any deadline set by NMDOJ. We will continue to follow federal law and the court orders that are in place."Catch up quick: In February, New Mexico lawmakers announced an investigation into allegations that Epstein trafficked and sexually abused girls and women at the sprawling Zorro Ranch outside Santa Fe.The New Mexico attorney generals office wrote to the U.S. Justice Department that month seeking unredacted access to an anonymous 2019 email that alleged two "foreign girls" were buried at Zorro Ranch.Epstein accuser Annie Farmer alleged in testimony at the 2021 trial of Ghislaine Maxwell that his since-convicted co-conspirator abused her at the ranch when she was 16 years old. Farmer has also accused Epstein of abusing her there.A New Mexico criminal investigation ended in 2019 with no charges filed.Whats next: New Mexicos attorney general has given the U.S. DOJ until July 31 to respond before pursuing what he says are "all available legal remedies."
