Lawyer for E. Jean Carroll says Trump wants to delay $5 million payment in sex abuse, defamation case [View all]

Source: CBS News

Updated on: June 30, 2026 / 10:15 PM EDT

Lawyers for President Trump asked for writer E. Jean Carroll's consent to delay the $5 million awarded to her by a 2023 jury, and signaled they plan to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider his appeal of Carroll's sexual abuse and defamation case, according to an attorney for Carroll.

Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, wrote in a court filing Tuesday that Mr. Trump's lawyer called her with the request Monday, soon after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. Later Monday, Kaplan wrote, she informed Mr. Trump's team that "Carroll does not consent," and asked whether the president would agree to the immediate disbursement of the funds Carroll has waited years to receive.

In a separate filing Tuesday, Kaplan asked a judge to set a faster-than-normal schedule to disburse $5 million in damages awarded to her by a 2023 jury, which found Mr. Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Kaplan wrote that Carroll is also due an additional $779,783 in interest.

Kaplan said she intends to motion the federal court in New York for the funds' release, and requested "that the court direct [Trump] to respond to the motion within seven days, or by July 7, 2026, rather than the usual fourteen days." She pointed to a June 2023 filing in which she said the two sides agreed Carroll could collect if the Supreme Court denied a petition to hear the case. The court did so Monday.
