Supreme Court rejects Trump attempt to overturn E. Jean Carroll verdict
The US Supreme Court refused to revisit a jury decision finding Trump liable, including a US$5 million finding related to allegations involving E. Jean Carroll.
CNBC Markets reports that the US Supreme Court again refused to hear President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn a civil verdict involving E. Jean Carroll.
According to CNBC Markets, a New York federal jury found Trump civilly liable for defaming and sexually abusing Carroll, and the Supreme Court’s latest rejection means that jury finding remains in place.
SCMP Economy adds that Trump had sought reconsideration after the justices declined to take up his appeal, but the high court rebuffed the request.
SCMP Economy also notes the jury’s US$5 million finding tied to allegations of sexual abuse in the mid-1990s and later defamation.
