The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Donald Trump regarding a $5 million jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. The case stems from an incident alleged to have occurred at a New York City department store in the mid-1990s. This decision marks the second time the high court has rejected an appeal from Trump concerning this specific legal matter.
By refusing to intervene, the Supreme Court leaves the lower court's judgment intact. The verdict, which concluded that Trump sexually abused and defamed Carroll, remains a significant legal development in the ongoing litigation between the two parties.
