      He raped her. That last judge went out of their way to clarify that point. He should be in prison. But monetary compensation as well…

      He won’t pay. He already owes her $5 million, and he’s not going to pay that, either. He probably owes his lawyers more than that, and he’s not paying them.

        That’s not how it works.

        Trump is appealing the $5 million judgment. And when you appeal, the first thing you do is write a check for the entire amount - a check made out to the court. That way if you lose the appeal, the court can pay the plaintiff.

        So, in fact, Trump had already paid the $5 million, even if Carroll can’t spend it yet.
