E Jean Carroll’s lawyers blast Trump’s attempts to claw back money he was ordered to pay her
- President Donald Trump is trying to force E Jean Carroll to pay back the $5.6 million he was ordered to pay the former Elle magazine writer after a federal jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
- That money was disbursed to Carroll from a court-controlled escrow account on July 9.
- But the president’s legal team is seeking an emergency injunction that would order Carroll to return the payment to the account in the hopes that the Supreme Court will grant him a legal Hail Mary and reverse the judgment, sending the money back to him.
