A judge has ordered that money be paid to writer E Jean Carroll. The amount is more than five million US dollars.
This payment is from a civil case against former US President Donald Trump. A court found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Ms Carroll.
The judge’s order means Ms Carroll will now receive the funds awarded to her by the court.
The case involved allegations of sexual abuse and defamation. These were found to be true in a civil court three years ago.
The court filing confirmed the judge’s directive for payment to be made.
This legal development follows a jury's decision in the initial civil trial.
The funds are related to damages awarded for the harm caused to Ms Carroll.
