Supreme Court declines to rehear Trump's appeal in $5 million E. Jean Carroll case
The ruling leaves intact a jury finding that Trump sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll, while a separate $83 million appeal remains pending.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court declined for a second time to hear President Donald Trump's bid to overturn a jury verdict awarding writer E. Jean Carroll $5 million.
- The case originated from a 1996 federal lawsuit in New York City where Carroll alleged Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store; Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
- Requests to reconsider decisions are rarely granted by the Supreme Court, creating a steep hurdle for Trump's unusual attempt to revisit the June ruling that rejected his initial appeal.
- Trump has already turned over the $5 million plus interest, satisfying the judgment in this specific case and ending his legal options to appeal.
- A separate $83 million defamation judgment remains pending before the Supreme Court until later this year, involving Trump's statements calling Carroll's allegations a "con job" and "hoax.
