Claim 6: “Carroll has received the money in the 2023 case”

While the evidence confirms the existence of the $5 million verdict and the rejection of Trump's appeal, none of the provided sources explicitly state that Carroll has already received the money. One source mentions a separate $83 million award that Trump was spared from paying temporarily, but there is no confirmation of payment for the 2023/2022 case award.
