SCOTUS leaves Carroll verdict intact, Trump rails on Truth Social
TL;DR
The Supreme Court declined to hear Donald Trump's appeal of the civil verdict against him in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case, leaving a $5 million civil judgment in place and noting Carroll's $83 million defamation award from a separate ruling. Trump blasted the decision on Truth Social and vowed to continue fighting as his lawyers pursue appeals. Separately, the Court issued a 5-4 ruling allowing late-arriving mail-in ballots to be counted, a decision Trump criticized as part of broader voting-law battles and related to efforts like the SAVE America Act.
