Supreme Court Lets Carroll Verdict Stand | Roanoke News

The Supreme Court just shut the door on Trump’s latest bid to overturn his sexual abuse and defamation verdict — a major win for E. Jean Carroll, whose jury awarded her $5 million. Trump’s team argued the trial unfairly included testimony from other women, and claimed the case interfered with his presidential duties — even though the alleged assault happened before he was president. Carroll’s lawyers countered that the testimony was relevant and the judge’s rulings were consistent with precedent. Carroll testified Trump attacked her in a department store dressing room in 1996, and the jury also found he defamed her. Trump is still appealing a separate $83.3 million defamation award — that one hasn’t reached the Supreme Court yet. While Trump has had recent legal wins, including a tossed civil fraud penalty and broad criminal immunity, this ruling stands firm.
