Carroll will get "Zero."

"That money will not be released until all appeals, including potentially to the Supreme Court, are exhausted."

"If Trump's appeal is turned down, he could simply pay the judgment."

"[S]he should be able to collect [the money]."

"Trump might one day have to pay E. Jean Carroll the $83.3 million she was awarded."

"No, only Congress can suspend habeas corpus."

"Habeas corpus can only be suspended under the Constitution in times of invasion or insurrection. None of that is happening now."

"This is a really important question, and the answer is a categorical no."

"We are going to suspend the writ of habeas corpus if the courts keep ruling against this [Trump's mass deportations]."

"I can assure you that the president and the entire administration are certainly open to all legal and constitutional remedies [including pausing the writ of habeas corpus] to ensure we can continue with the promise of deporting illegal criminals from our nation's borders."

"I would say that's [suspending the writ of habeas corpus] an option we're actively looking at."

"They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize."

"Trump did not win a Nobel Peace Prize. And never will."

"If it [Nobel Peace Prize] were fairly awarded, I think in a year, he [Trump] should get it from what I've seen."

"He might even win the Nobel Peace Prize he covets."

“President Trump, I believe, for that work [efforts to stop wars] is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize.”

"My prediction, for what it's worth, is that Trump ultimately, probably in two years' time, wins a Nobel Peace Prize."

This year "could finally be the year in which he is awarded the prize."

"It’s not something [Trump's] talking about or even thinking about at this moment in time, I can assure you of that.”

"The president has shown he likes to pardon people who will get him good press, not bad press."

"I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I haven't thought about."

"[Trump] might commute her sentence down from 20 years, but she never walks away from the conviction after the evidence."

"With a very high probability, Donald Trump is going to pardon or commute the sentence of psychopathic sexual sadist Ghislaine Maxwell."

"They [Trump admin] make deals with the Mafia, so I'm certain they are going to try to make a deal with her."

"Trump could give Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon on his last day in office, in exchange for favorable testimony."

"Trump plans to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell so she doesn’t reveal what she knows about him, which is exactly why she must testify before Congress."

"Mark my words: Trump will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell – and she’ll say exactly what he wants her to."

"Trump is going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell."

"It [2026 Midterms]'s going to be dominated by what party is making you safe and prosperous. It's not going to be dominated by subsidies [Trump's presidential actions]. It's going to be dominated by the big stuff."

“A chunk of [GOP voters] who put them in power in 2024 are Trump-specific voters; they will vote GOP down ballot when Trump is running but won’t turn out to vote for a typical congressman in a midterm when Trump isn’t running.”

"As we have seen, the president’s party almost always loses ground in the midterm election following his victory... [but] if Republicans are to have a serious chance of retaining control of the House, President Trump will have to improve his job approval significantly."

"If legal immigrants begin to be deported without having committed any crime [by Trump admin], get ready for Republicans to lose the [2026] midterms by a landslide."

“The President will help his Republican friends on Capitol Hill get reelected [in 2026 Midterms], and work to pick up new seats across the country.”

"President Trump is the main event for the party [2026 midterms]."

"Republicans have reason to worry that the president’s political decline will affect their performance in next year [2026]’s midterm elections."

“All these people that he [Trump] helps — he doesn’t help everybody — but for those he does, he’s a difference maker, and he’s certainly a turnout machine.”

"Whether congressional GOPers can turn things around for the ‘26 midterms is more dependent on Trump than ever."

“All of the kinds of things [Trump's] doing now will result in him losing—certainly losing the House of Representatives."

"What’s crazy is that the 2026 midterms are entirely in Trump’s control."

"The success or failure of the Grand Old Party (GOP) next year [2026 US Midterms] will be decided on the strength or weakness of President Trump’s coattails."

Will Donald Trump be a Primary Voting Factor in the 2026 US Midterms?

The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into writer E. Jean Carroll, 82, over whether she committed perjury in depositions tied to her two civil lawsuits against President Donald Trump.

The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into writer E. Jean Carroll, 82, over whether she committed perjury in depositions tied to her two civil lawsuits against President Donald Trump.

The probe centers on a 2022 videotaped deposition in which Carroll told then-Trump attorney Alina Habba that no one else was paying her legal fees. Two weeks before trial, her attorneys disclosed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had covered some costs.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois, led by Trump-appointed prosecutor Andrew Boutros, is handling the investigation. Prosecutors were assigned the case partly because Hoffman's nonprofit is based in Chicago.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has recused himself from the probe because he previously represented Trump during appeals in the Carroll cases. Other officials in the deputy attorney general's office are overseeing the investigation.

When Trump's attorneys raised the funding issue on appeal, the Second Circuit found Carroll had "plausibly represented" in her deposition that she had forgotten about the limited outside funding her counsel obtained.

Juries awarded Carroll $5 million in a 2023 sexual abuse and defamation case and $83.3 million in a separate 2024 defamation case. Both verdicts were upheld on appeal, and Trump has sought Supreme Court review of both judgments.
