President Donald Trump officially paid magazine writer E. Jean Carroll more than $5.6 million that he owed her after a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
More than three years after the jury’s verdict, the president transferred $5,625,005.48 to Carroll on July 9, according to a court filing submitted in the case Tuesday.
“Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict,” Roberta Kaplan, an attorney representing Carroll, said in a statement.
Earlier this month, a federal judge ordered the president to finally pay Carroll after he exhausted his appeals in the case and the Supreme Court rejected the president’s request for justices to intervene.

meaning raping someone cost him 0.07% of the money he grifted only during his presidencies

The only reason she was able to get paid is because the funds were being held in escrow by order of the court, not under his direct control.

He paid her because he definitely doesn't want the courts appointing anyone to look into his finances and force it.

he paid her because posting bond is a requirement for appeal.

Congratulations, Ms. Carroll. I had to read carefully, at first not believing this could be true. Truly the best of news to start this day. Now let's talk about ALL the other Trump-Epstein victims.

Trump paid someone? I was sure he was going to still somehow avoid it for years.
