Trump's Verdict Upheld by Supreme Court | Burlington 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 $5 million verdict. Trump’s legal team argued the evidence was unfairly admitted and the judge erred, even claiming it distracted from presidential duties — despite the verdict occurring before he took office. They’ve also nominated one of his attorneys for a federal appeals court seat. Carroll’s team urged the Court to stay out, saying the rulings were sound and the case wasn’t significant enough for review. Trump is also appealing a separate, larger $80 million defamation judgment, but that case hasn’t reached the Supreme Court yet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
