US Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Appeals in E. Jean Carroll $5 Million Verdict
The US Supreme Court has twice declined President Donald Trump's appeals to overturn a 2023 jury verdict ordering him to pay $5 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation. Trump paid the judgment after the court's initial refusal but sought reconsideration, which was again denied. Separately, the court is reviewing Trump's appeal of an $83.3 million defamation verdict related to comments he made while president, with his lawyers citing presidential immunity. Carroll has publicly accused Trump of assault in the 1990s, which he denies.
