Supreme Court Upholds Carroll Verdict | Durham News

The Supreme Court just upheld a five-million-dollar verdict against Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse and defamation case, rejecting his bid to throw out the jury’s findings. Trump’s legal team argued the trial was unfairly conducted and distracted from his presidential duties, but the Court sided with Carroll’s team, who maintained the testimony from other accusers was relevant and the judge’s rulings were consistent with precedent. The ruling leaves the verdict intact, even as Trump faces a separate, larger defamation award of over eighty-three million dollars still pending before the Court. This decision adds to a growing list of legal setbacks for Trump, with some rulings overturned and others still in play. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
