Supreme Court rebuffs Trump’s appeal in E. Jean Carroll case

The US Supreme Court declined to hear Donald Trump's appeal to overturn a $5 million verdict in favor of E. Jean Carroll. A 2023 New York jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing the former magazine columnist and subsequently defaming her. The justices provided no explanation or public dissents regarding the decision. Consequently, the civil judgment remains intact following the two-week trial, as the highest court refused to review the original jury's findings and ruling.
