Trump LOSES to E. Jean Carroll at the Supreme Court. Verdict Permanent, She Keeps the $5.6M.

from The Rogue Voice Podcast with Linsay Rousseau · host Linsay Rousseau

The Supreme Court told Donald Trump to go pound sand this morning, and it took one sentence. No explanation, no dissents. Just a line on a routine order list refusing to reconsider the case where a jury found he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll and then lied about her for years. That verdict is now permanent. Unappealable. Final.In June the court already declined to hear his appeal. So in July he asked them to rehear the appeal they refused to hear. That is not a legal strategy. That is calling somebody from a different phone after they blocked you. Rehearing petitions are almost never granted. The rules require substantial intervening circumstances, and his was a different lawsuit he is also losing.He had already paid. Carroll got the money in July, five million plus six hundred grand in interest, because the return on defaming a woman for six straight years turns out to be deeply negative. He wired the cash and kept litigating to claw it back.His entire defense for seven years was three words. “Not my type.” He said it to reporters and under oath. Then in that same deposition they handed him a photograph of himself standing next to E. Jean Carroll, and he pointed straight at her and said that is Marla, that is my wife. Marla Maples. Wife number two. Divorced in 1999. His own attorney had to stop him and say no, that is Carroll. My dude, you looked at a woman you swore you never met and identified her as somebody you were married to for six years. You did not lose that argument. You dragged it to the curb yourself.Judge Lewis Kaplan already put the rest in writing. Rape under New York law means one narrow thing. What the jury found was that Trump forcibly penetrated her with his fingers. Quote, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.And this is a man who takes questions constantly. Motorcade, Oval Office, airplane stairs, forty minutes on the South Lawn about anything. The only thing anybody got out of him today is a statement from his legal team calling this the Carroll Hoaxes, which is a bold word choice hours after the highest court in the country made it permanent. Hey media. About you do your fecking job and ask the orange menace about this?The second verdict is still pending. Eighty three point three million for defaming her in 2019 while he was president. Trump is appealing it, and so is his Justice Department, in a petition arguing the United States government should be swapped in as the defendant instead of him. If that works, the claim dies, because you cannot sue the federal government for defamation. And the bill moves to you. Your taxes. Covering his mouth.E. Jean Carroll is eighty two. She sat through two trials, a deposition where he called her a whack job, and seven years of a president telling the country she made it up. She says she is spending every dollar he owes her on causes he hates. And she wrote a book about all of it.She called it Not My Type.That is the one thing he ever said about her that held up.Sources:https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/6032917-supreme-court-rejects-donald-trump-e-jean-carroll-case/https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/17/trump-supreme-court-e-jean-carroll.htmlhttps://newrepublic.com/post/214403/supreme-court-denies-trump-appeal-e-jean-carrollhttps://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5996043-donald-trump-e-jean-carroll-defamation-verdict-appeal-supreme-court/ Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
