Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Request to Appeal $5 Million Verdict in E. Jean Carroll Case
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- The Supreme Court declined President Trump's request to review a $5 million civil judgment against him for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, a verdict reached by a jury in 2023.
- No reasoning or public dissents were provided by the justices in their decision to reject Trump's appeal.
- A separate case involving an $83.3 million defamation judgment against Trump related to Carroll's 2019 accusation may soon be reviewed by the Supreme Court, as Trump's lawyers plan to seek the court's hearing.
- The decision marks a significant setback for Trump, likely ending his legal challenges against the jury's finding that he assaulted Carroll in the mid-1990s.
- This ruling follows a February Supreme Court decision that curtailed Trump's use of emergency powers for tariffs, which Trump publicly criticized harshly.
