- President Donald Trump is attempting to force E. Jean Carroll to return $5.6 million he was ordered to pay her in a sexual abuse and defamation case.
- The payment was disbursed to Carroll from a court-controlled escrow account on July 9, following a federal jury's verdict.
- Trump's legal team is seeking an emergency injunction, hoping the Supreme Court will reverse the judgment and return the funds to him.
