Trump’s Verdict Blocked by Supreme Court | San Antonio News

The Supreme Court quietly shut down Donald Trump’s bid to erase a $5 million verdict finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation by writer E. Jean Carroll — a decision that stunned legal watchers. Trump’s team argued the trial misapplied federal rules by letting testimony from two other accusers into evidence, even claiming it violated presidential immunity — though the abuse occurred decades before his presidency. Carroll’s lawyers countered that the other women’s stories were legally relevant and the judge followed standard procedure. Carroll herself testified Trump assaulted her in a department store dressing room, and the jury also found him defamed her. This isn’t the only judgment Trump’s fighting — a separate $83.3 million defamation award is also under appeal. Trump has a history of overturning big judgments, including a New York civil fraud penalty and broad presidential immunity, though that latter ruling was later narrowed.
