Trump ordered to hand over E. Jean Carroll's $5M after losing Supreme Court appeal: report

A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump to release the more than 5 million payment he owes to E. Jean Carroll, a former magazine columnist who sued Trump for sexually abusing and defaming her, according to a new report. CNN reported on Wednesday that Judge Lewis Kaplan told Trump to release the money, along with accrued interest, after the Supreme Court refused to hear Trump's appeal in the case. The payment is part of the civil verdict that found Trump sexually abused Carroll in a department store in 1996, and then defamed her when he became president. Carroll has also secured an 83 million judgment from a jury in her defamation case against Trump. The president has until the end of July to appeal that ruling to the Supreme Court, according to the report. A spokesperson for the Trump administration told CNN in a statement, The American People stand with President Trump as they demand an immediate end to all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes. President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he continues to focus on his mission to Make America Great Again.

Jeenah Moon / REUTERSAuthor Michael Wolff has claimed that President Donald Trump’s legal team is working behind the scenes in his lawsuit against first lady Melania Trump.In a new column for his Substack, HOWL, Wolff wrote about his lawsuit against the first lady, which U.S. District Court Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil, a Trump-appointed judge in the Southern District of New York, dismissed in May 2026, calling it a “contorted” effort to prevent Melania from suing him, saying that “is not how the federal courts work.” Wolff is appealing the decision.He said it seems to him there is a “strong indication of how directly [the lawsuit] appears to be overseen by the White House.” Read more at The Daily Beast.

'Absurd': Republican Judge Nails Todd Blanche In 10th Straight Election Scheme LossRoberts Court Expands Trumpnullnullnullnullnullnull

The corrupt MAGA Roberts Court mostly ruled against Donald Trump today, rejecting his appeal in the E Jean Carroll case, protecting mail-in voting and blocked Trump from firing Lisa Cook. BUT, they did give him a big win that is going to be highly consequential. He is now able to fire independent regulators, a power that no other President has ever had. The case was brought by Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter after he fired her shortly after he began his second term. No other President has tried to exert such power over independent regulators - it would have been unheard of. Trump tried it and the Supreme Court has decided that he can do it - and I guess all future Presidents can as well. (Ed. note: You know they'll find a way to prevent a Dem president from doing that) In the 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court gave Trump and all future presidents the power to remove members of supposedly independent federal agencies that carry out functions under the executive branch of government. All 6 conservative justices ruled in Trump's favor, of course. read more
