Trump’s Supreme Court Appeal Denied | Chicago News

The Supreme Court has declined to hear Trump’s appeal in the E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse and defamation case, upholding the jury’s 2023 verdict that found him liable for sexual assault and defamation, awarding her $5 million. The ruling closes the door on his last legal avenue to overturn this decision, even though he’s denied the allegations since 2019. A separate jury earlier this year awarded her $83 million for defamatory statements. Trump’s team called the case politically motivated, but Carroll’s side argued the evidence was strong and consistent with a pattern of behavior. The court’s refusal means the lower court’s findings — including the digital rape determination — stand firm. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
