US Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Appeal in E. Jean Carroll Sexual Abuse Case
The US Supreme Court declined to hear former President Donald Trump's appeal against a $5 million jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s and defaming her by denying the allegations. Trump's legal team argued the trial was unfair due to evidentiary rulings and claimed the case distracted from his presidential duties. Carroll's lawyers maintained the evidence was relevant and consistent with legal standards. The decision leaves the 2023 verdict intact, concluding this chapter of their legal battle.
