The Supreme Court declined Monday to hear an appeal from President Donald Trump challenging a $5 million jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid‑1990s and later defaming her, leaving the judgment in place without comment or noted dissent. Trump, who has consistently denied the allegations, reacted on Truth Social by accusing the court of refusing to review what he called a baseless case and stating he would keep fighting what he described as a misuse of the legal system against him. His attorneys had argued that trial rulings allowing testimony from two other accusers were unfairly prejudicial, while Carroll’s lawyers maintained the evidence was properly admitted. The decision matters because it upholds a rare civil verdict against a sitting president and adds to a series of high‑profile legal battles surrounding Trump.
