Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Appeal in E. Jean Carroll $5 Million Verdict Case
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined for a second time to hear former President Donald Trump's appeal to overturn a $5 million jury verdict awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation. Trump had requested reconsideration after the court rejected his initial appeal in June. Separately, the court is reviewing another $83 million verdict related to defamation claims, with Trump's lawyers arguing presidential immunity. Carroll has publicly accused Trump of assault in the 1990s, which he denies.
