Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Appeal | Bozeman News

The Supreme Court just rejected Donald Trump’s bid to overturn a jury’s verdict finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation by writer E. Jean Carroll — a case rooted in a 1996 incident. Trump’s legal team argued the judge mishandled evidence, including testimony from other accusers, claiming it unfairly influenced the jury — even though the verdict came before Trump was president. Carroll’s lawyers countered that the similar accusations were relevant and the judge’s rulings were consistent with precedent. Carroll testified Trump assaulted her in a department store dressing room, and a jury later found him liable for defamation. While this latest loss isn’t final, Trump is still appealing a separate, even larger $83 million verdict — and while he’s had success overturning big judgments before, the legal fight isn’t over.
