When the Supreme Court declined to consider President Donald Trump’s appeal against E. Jean Carroll on Monday, she moved a step closer to collecting her $5 million (plus interest) from one of the two civil cases she won against him.
On Tuesday, her lawyers said the president was still trying to put off paying but that it was “the end of the line” and “time for him to pay Carroll.”
They made those statements in a court filing to the New York district court that oversaw her 2023 trial, where a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing the writer in 1996 and defaming her in 2022. Carroll’s lawyers said that “after four years of litigation across every level of the federal court system, it is time for this case to end.”
The latest potential hitch is that her lawyers said a lawyer for Trump has asked if they would agree to further delay so he can ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its refusal to review his petition. Carroll’s lawyers declined another postponement, noting a prior stipulation between the parties provides for payment upon the denial of Trump’s petition.
They added that there’s no reason to think the court would reconsider its denial, seeing as it just rejected Trump’s petition without any justices signaling interest in the case. It takes four justices to grant review.
“Accordingly, the Court should direct the Clerk to disburse to Carroll the value of the judgment including post-judgment interest, which amounts to $5,779,783.00 in total as of the date of this filing,” Carroll’s lawyers wrote to the district court on Tuesday. They urged the court to “reject his latest effort to delay and instead bring this long-running litigation to an end.”

It's good to know the Supreme Court is still capable of doing the right thing once in a while.
