Trump’s Supreme Court Appeal Denied | Indianapolis News

The Supreme Court has shut the door on Donald Trump’s bid to avoid paying E. Jean Carroll $5 million for sexual assault and defamation — a verdict that now stands firm as he campaigns for president. Trump’s legal team argued presidents shouldn’t face old accusations while in office, but the Court declined to hear the case, leaving the jury’s decision intact. Carroll, a writer who accused Trump of assault in a 1990s department store dressing room, won after two lawsuits — one for defamation, another under a special statute for past abuse. Trump has denied ever meeting her, claiming the suit was about book sales. With no higher court intervention, Trump must now face the financial consequences of the ruling — a major legal blow as he heads into the 2024 race.
