E. Jean Carroll has finally gotten what a jury said she was owed. On Tuesday, she announced on X that she had received a $5.6 million payment from President Donald Trump, posting a screenshot of a New York Times report with the caption: "The Eagle has landed."

The payment came after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's appeal of the 2023 civil verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her by denying her allegations. According to federal court records, the money was released from a court-supervised escrow account once the Supreme Court passed on the case.

The original $5 million jury award had grown to roughly $5.625 million with accrued interest during the appeals process. Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement that she and her client were "pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict."

Last week, Trump's attempt to block Carroll from collecting nearly $5.8 million in damages hit a dead end when the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal. Trump's lawyers had argued that Carroll shouldn't access the funds while legal challenges continued, warning that her plan to donate the money could complicate recovery if Trump eventually won. But the court's decision left the 2023 verdict intact.

In June, Trump called the case a "Fake Case" and "Weaponization and Lawfare Case" on social media, saying he would continue fighting the judgment. That fight, however, appears to be over—at least for now.

Earlier, the Justice Department had opened a criminal investigation into whether Carroll gave false testimony about outside funding for her lawsuits against Trump. The probe focused on her 2022 deposition, where she said no outside parties were funding her cases, after it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman helped cover some legal fees through a nonprofit. A judge previously ruled that the funding issue did not affect Carroll's credibility.
