The amount has grown to nearly $5.8 million with interest and should be required by the court to be disbursed, the lawyers wrote, saying Trump has resumed his defamatory attacks against Carroll as his lawyers considered asking the high court to reconsider i…

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. President Donald Trump unleashed a blistering response to the Supreme Court on Monday after it refused to intervene in his bid to overturn a jury’s finding that he sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll , leaving intact a $5 million civil judgment. The president accused the justices of declining to review a "Fake Case" and calling the ruling an "Injustice" driven by political "Weaponization" and "Lawfare." The brief, unexplained order arrives as the court issues some of its most consequential end‑of‑term decisions, many of which are central to Trump’s legal and political agenda. Meanwhile, Carroll posted on Substack shortly after the ruling, celebrating the outcome and describing the Supreme Court’s decision as a victory. The move effectively ends Trump’s attempt to erase the first federal verdict against him as he continues to face mounting legal exposure. The decision means Carroll’s victory stands—an…

United States President, Donald Trump (Photo: AFP) International News , Latest News July 8, 2026 Judge orders Trump to pay writer $5 m for assault, defamation NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — A United States (US) judge ordered President Donald Trump on Wednesday to pay writer E Jean Carroll $5 million after a civil jury found that he sexually assaulted and defamed her. Last week, the US Supreme Court refused to hear Trump’s appeal against the original May 2023 judgment ordering him to pay $2 million in damages for sexual assault and $3 million for defamatory statements. Carroll, a former journalist and columnist who is now 82, accused the president of assaulting her in a dressing room of a New York department store in 1996. When the allegations were published in a 2019 book, the Republican billionaire called her a “nut job” and claimed she had fabricated her case. By declining to hear the appeal, the Supreme Court made the judgment final. On Wednesday, federal judge Lewis Kaplan ordered that the $5 million Trump had been required to deposit with the court be paid. The ruling also requires payment of unspecified accrued interest. In a separate defamation case in New York, Trump was o…

None of the justices, three of whom were appointed to the high court by Trump, issued a written dissent to the decision.
