Final appeal denied as Carroll defamation verdict stands
TL;DR
The Supreme Court rejected Trump's final challenge to the E. Jean Carroll defamation verdict, leaving roughly $83 million in damages in place. Trump argued jurors should not have seen the 2005 Access Hollywood tape, while Carroll’s suit stemmed from his 2022 Truth Social denial of her allegations; the jury found defamation and sexual abuse but not rape, and Trump pledged on Truth Social to keep fighting.
