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 U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's request to reconsider its refusal to hear his appeal of a $5 million verdict for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, finalizing the judgment.
- A 2023 New York federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million; he subsequently exhausted standard appeals before requesting this rare rehearing.
- Carroll collected $5.6 million from an escrow account in July, comprising the original $5 million award plus interest, which Trump unsuccessfully sought to reverse through his second petition.
- The justices issued an unsigned order without explanation, a standard practice when denying such requests; the Supreme Court has not granted a rehearing petition since 2018.
- Meanwhile, the Supreme Court continues to weigh Trump's separate $83.3 million defamation appeal, where his legal team argues that statements made during his presidency should receive immunity protection.
