Trump’s Appeal Denied in Carroll Verdict | Tucson News

The Supreme Court has declined to hear Donald Trump’s appeal in the landmark E. Jean Carroll sexual assault and defamation case, leaving intact the jury’s $5 million verdict. Trump’s legal team claimed the evidence was unfairly prejudicial, but the Court sided with Carroll’s team, affirming the judge’s rulings. Trump reacted with surprise, calling the decision a national issue and pledging to continue fighting the claims. Carroll, who testified about the alleged assault in a 1990s department store dressing room, now stands firm as this ruling closes one major legal avenue for Trump — though he still faces an additional $83.3 million defamation verdict from another trial, which he plans to appeal. This decision marks a significant moment in accountability, as Trump’s legal victories in other cases don’t extend to this jury’s findings.
