Supreme Court declines to review case, $5 million verdict for E. Jean Carroll stands
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a brief order declining to take up President Donald Trump's request to overturn a jury verdict that awarded $5 million to E. Jean Carroll, leaving the lower‑court decision in place.
The Supreme Court declined to take up the case in a brief, unexplained order and issued no noted dissents, leaving the jury verdict that awarded $5 million to E. Jean Carroll intact.
Trump’s lawyers said the verdict was supported by evidentiary rulings that allowed testimony from two other women who have accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago, and they argued that the trial judge broke federal evidence rules.
Trump has denied the allegations of all three women.
