The Supreme Court declined to grant a rehearing of Donald Trump’s defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, leaving in place a lower-court ruling that Trump was liable for sexual abuse and defamation and a damages award of about $5.63 million (with interest). Trump also faces a separate defamation verdict of about $83.3 million in another proceeding, which is still being appealed.
President Trump said he would ask the Supreme Court to rehear its birthright citizenship ruling, but the 25-day deadline has passed with no petition on the Court’s docket, leaving the June 30 decision that birthright citizenship is automatic largely intact; rehearings are rare and there has been no public comment from the White House or DOJ.
Trump did not file a petition for Supreme Court rehearing on birthright citizenship before the 25-day deadline, despite his vow; the Court previously ruled the plan to limit birthright citizenship cannot move forward under the 14th Amendment, and rehearing petitions are rarely granted.
President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to rehear two high-profile rulings—the birthright citizenship order and the Carroll defamation case—despite the court’s historical rarity in granting such requests; experts say rehearings are typically only granted for newly available information, not mere disagreement, and odds are still slim, with the DOJ not commenting.
Trump says he will seek a Supreme Court rehearing of the June 30 ruling that birthright citizenship is guaranteed to anyone born in the U.S., despite his earlier executive order to curb it. Rehearing is rare and generally unlikely, with the Court not granting one in decades and last reversing an argued decision in the 1950s, making this a long-shot bid against the 14th Amendment interpretation.
