Supreme Court Declines Donald Trump's Appeal in Carroll Case
The highest court upholds a $5 million civil judgment.
Event Overview
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Donald Trump seeking to overturn a 2023 civil verdict. A jury had found Trump liable for the sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, awarding her $5 million in that case and $83.3 million in a separate defamation case. The Court's decision leaves the $5 million judgment in place. Trump has characterized the proceedings as politically motivated 'lawfare' and a 'hoax.'
