Supreme Court rejects Trump's final appeal in E. Jean Carroll case

The Supreme Court declined to hear a petition from Trump to reconsider an appeal regarding a $5 million judgment. This decision effectively finalizes the verdict reached by a jury in favor of E. Jean Carroll. The court's refusal to intervene ends a longshot effort to overturn the civil liability finding. The judgment stems from a 2023 trial where Trump was found liable for sexually abusing Carroll and later defaming her. Trump had repeatedly sought to block the award through various legal challenges. With this latest rebuff from the high court, the legal path to challenge the payment has ended.
