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.
