E. Jean Carroll receives the money awarded to her in her civil sexual assault lawsuit against Donald Trump after her legal team shuts down Trump’s final attempt to undo the damages. ABC Australia reports that lawyers block Trump’s effort to reopen or challenge the court outcome aimed at taking back the money.
The outlets describe the matter as the culmination of the only case in which Carroll has successfully won damages against Trump for sexual assault. IOL says the amount is $5.6 million. It also reports that Carroll, an 82-year-old American journalist, indicates she will direct any future payouts toward causes Trump dislikes, reflecting her stated intent for how funds will be used.
Across coverage, the focus remains on the legal resolution—Trump’s last challenge fails, and Carroll’s damages are paid—while commentary about Carroll’s planned use of the money varies by outlet.
