Supreme Court rejects Trump effort to overturn E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse and defamation verdict
The court left in place the jury's finding that Trump sexually abused Carroll in the 1990s and later defamed her after she went public with her claims.
The justices turned away Trump's appeal in the case, meaning that the 2023 jury verdict and a $5 million civil judgment remain in place.
Carroll filed a separate defamation claim against Trump not at issue at the Supreme Court that led to a $83.3 million judgment. That case, concerning statements Trump made while serving his first term in office, is still on appeal. Trump argues that the claims should be dismissed on the basis of presidential immunity.
