BREAKING
Supreme Court DENIES Trump’s “DO OVER” in E. Jean Carroll case. NO REFUNDS on his $5.63 Million.Trump has now made FIVE separate attempts to get out from under the $5 million verdict.
First, he asked the trial judge for a new trial or to slash the damages. Denied.
Then he appealed to a three-judge federal appeals court. He lost.
Then he asked the FULL appeals court to reconsider. Denied.
Then Trump went to the Supreme Court and asked the justices to overturn the verdict. They refused to even take the case.
So he tried one more time.
Trump asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its own rejection — an extraordinary request that is almost never granted.
Today, the justices said no again.
One sentence. No explanation. No noted dissents.
And there’s another problem for Trump: E. Jean Carroll already has the money.
After the Supreme Court rejected him in June, nearly $5.63 million, the original $5 million verdict plus interest, was released from escrow and transferred to Carroll.
Trump’s lawyers fought that too, asking an appeals court to put the money back into a court-controlled account or return it to him.
The 2023 jury unanimously found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s and later defaming her when he denied her account.
Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan said the verdict is now “final and cannot be challenged in any court.”
Trump is still separately fighting the $83.3 million verdict Carroll won against him in 2024.
