Trump Asks Supreme Court To Overturn E. Jean Carroll Verdict

Former President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a civil verdict involving writer E. Jean Carroll.

In 2023, a jury found Trump liable for battery and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million. An appeals court later upheld that decision, leading Trump’s legal team to seek a review from the nation’s highest court.

His attorneys argue the case lacked strong evidence and should not stand. Carroll and her supporters, however, view the ruling as a significant moment for accountability.

The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether it will take up the case.

If it declines, the original verdict will remain in place.
