Donald Trump is attempting to delay a payout to E Jean Carroll, who has accused him of sexual abuse, with the amount of the payout reported as either $5 million or $5.8 million. However, some reports indicate that Trump's latest bid to delay the payment has been denied by a federal judge. The situation surrounding the payout and the related allegations against Trump and Carroll remains unclear, with some outlets also reporting that the US justice department has opened a criminal inquiry into Carroll.
