Supreme Court declines to hear Trump's appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case

The Supreme Court declined to hear President Trump’s appeal of the 2023 civil verdict in which a jury found he sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll, leaving the roughly $5 million in damages intact, the BBC reported . The Court’s refusal to take the case ends Trump’s effort to overturn the judgment, which a federal appeals court had already affirmed.

The order resolves only this case; it does not disturb the separate $83.3 million defamation award Carroll won in a related 2024 trial, which remains on its own appellate track.
