A federal judge rejected Donald Trump's effort to block a $5 million payment to the woman he was found liable for sexually abusing, ordering that she be paid immediately. The President's lawyers argued in a Tuesday evening court filing that E Jean Carroll cannot receive the money until the Supreme Court rejects Trump's new petition, following the court's denial of his initial request last month. Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the motion, meaning the President will finally be forced to pay Carroll after a three-year legal battle. With interest, the amount Trump owes has grown to roughly $5.8 million. Carroll's lawyers are pressing for its immediate release because Trump has already paid $5.5 million into a court-controlled account. #news #politics #trump #ejeancarroll
