Trump’s $5M Judgment Stands | Des Moines News

The Supreme Court just shut the door on Trump’s last-ditch appeal over a $5 million sexual abuse verdict — meaning he’s still on the hook for the judgment stemming from a jury’s finding he sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll. This marks the first time Trump sought the Court’s review on a personal legal matter while in office, and despite his team’s claims that the case was politically motivated and a distraction from presidential duties — even comparing her story to “Law & Order” — the high court sided with the lower court’s ruling. The verdict is separate from another $83.3 million defamation award Trump has also lost on appeal. The claims date back to 1996, and this latest decision leaves Trump personally liable for both judgments. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
