WASHINGTON: The US Supreme Court rejected on Monday President Trump’s effort to overturn a jury judgement that he sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll and must pay her $5 million.
The court’s decision not to hear Donald Trump’s challenge was issued as part of a raft of other rulings and contained no reasons.
On May 9, 2023, the federal civil court in Manhattan found Trump liable for a “sexual assault” on the former newspaper columnist in a New York department store in 1996.
Trump fired back at the court’s decision not to reconsider the jury’s ruling.
