Attorneys for E. Jean Carroll have asked a federal judge to order former President Donald Trump to pay the $5 million judgment awarded to her, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to reject his appeal.

The Supreme Court this week declined to hear Trump's appeal of a verdict and judgment that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and ordered him to pay Carroll $5 million.

In a new court filing, Carroll's legal team stated that Trump's lawyers had indicated the former president might ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its denial of his appeal. However, Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, emphasized that after four years of litigation, "it is time for this case to end" and that Carroll is now entitled to receive the money due under the judgment.

The implications of the Supreme Court's denial mean that the legal avenues for Trump to challenge the verdict at the federal level have largely been exhausted. The $5 million awarded to Carroll has been held in escrow pending the outcome of Trump's appeals.

A Manhattan jury initially found Trump liable in 2023 for sexually abusing Carroll in the mid-1990s and for defaming her in 2022 when he denied her allegations. The jury subsequently awarded her $5 million in damages.

Trump, in a post on his social media platform, vowed to continue his fight against what he described as a "Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me." He stated his intention to use "all of my power and strength" to challenge the verdict.

Trump had obtained a stay of execution pending appeal by agreeing that the funds placed in the court's account would be disbursed upon specific conditions. According to Carroll's attorneys, these conditions were met when the Supreme Court denied his petition for certiorari, the formal request for the court to review a case.

The legal battle between Carroll and Trump has spanned several years and multiple court levels, with this Supreme Court decision marking a significant point in the enforcement of the jury's original findings.
