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."

Will Donald Trump Pay His Settlement to E Jean Carroll?

The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) on Monday declined for a second time to reconsider U.S. President Donald Trump's appeal of a $5 million civil judgment stemming from a 2023 jury finding that he sexually abused and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll. The order contained no explanation and no noted dissents.

Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan said that this ruling means "the jury's unanimous verdict that Donald Trump sexually assaulted and then defamed E. Jean Carroll is now final and cannot be challenged in any court."

Trump is separately appealing to SCOTUS an $83.3 million defamation judgment, which was awarded by a jury in 2024 over statements he made in 2019. The justices are not expected to act on the petition until late September at the earliest.

Carroll first publicly alleged in 2019 that Trump had sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in Manhattan in the mid-1990s. Trump has denied the allegations and has described the lawsuits as politically motivated.

The Supreme Court's refusal to hear this case puts a definitive stamp on what a jury already decided unanimously — that Donald Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll. No more appeals, no more delays; the $5.6 million verdict is final and collectible. When the highest court in the land won't touch your challenge, the legal argument is over.

E. Jean Carroll

A case built on a decades-old accusation with no police report, no physical evidence and a vague timeline that made a real defense nearly impossible should never have produced a $5.6 million verdict. The trial judge's rulings effectively stripped the defense of a fair shot, and SCOTUS letting that stand makes a mockery of civil procedure. This verdict was political theater dressed up as justice.

It's ridiculous that SCOTUS won't hear this case, which was built on a decades-old accusation and almost no evidence. There never should have been a $5 million verdict because the trial judge stripped the defense of a fair shot. This verdict was political theater dressed up as justice and Trump was dealt a raw deal.

There's a 6% chance that Trump will pay his settlement to Carroll before Jan. 20, 2029, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
