SCOTUS refuses to revive Carroll verdict in Trump case

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear President Trump’s bid to overturn a jury verdict awarding $5 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for alleged sexual abuse and defamation, after he sought reconsideration of a June ruling. The court rarely grants such requests, and Trump has already paid the award plus interest. He also faces a separate defamation appeal over an $83 million judgment, linked to immunity questions, with a decision not expected until later this year.
