Supreme Court declines to hear Trump's appeal of $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump's appeal to overturn a $5 million civil judgment that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. The justices declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order with no noted dissents, leaving the 2023 jury verdict in place.
