US Supreme Court Upholds $5 Million Verdict Against Trump

The US Supreme Court has allowed a $5 million civil verdict against former President Donald Trump to stand. The verdict was awarded to E. Jean Carroll, who alleged that Trump had sexually abused her.

In a separate decision, the court declined to hear an appeal from Trump regarding the same case. This means that the original verdict remains in place.

The court’s decision on the appeal was made without comment. It is unclear what factors led to this outcome.

Trump had previously denied Carroll’s allegations and maintained his innocence throughout the legal process. The verdict against him was reached by a jury, which found him liable for damages.

Carroll had initially filed a lawsuit against Trump in 2019, alleging that he had raped her at a department store in the 1990s. The case went to trial in New York state court, where the jury delivered its verdict.

The Supreme Court’s decision on the appeal does not affect the original verdict or any other aspects of the case.
