US Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Appeal in E. Jean Carroll Sexual Assault Case

The US Supreme Court has declined former President Donald Trump’s appeal against a $5 million judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault in 1996. Carroll, now 82, won the case in 2023 when a jury found Trump liable for the alleged assault. Trump’s appeal argued that the trial was unfair because the judge improperly allowed the jury to hear evidence about his past alleged sexual misconduct. However, a lower court upheld the jury’s verdict and dismissed Trump’s claims, leading the Supreme Court to reject his appeal and let the ruling stand.
