Supreme Court rejects Trump’s push to toss $5 million verdict in E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse case
The justices declined to review Trump’s challenge, leaving the jury’s finding of sexual abuse and defamation and the $5 million civil judgment in place.
- On Monday, June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court refused to hear President Donald Trump's appeal, upholding a 2023 jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.
- The case stems from Carroll's allegation that Trump assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996, resulting in the $5 million civil judgment the jury awarded in 2023.
- Trump's legal team argued that District Judge Lewis Kaplan improperly allowed "highly inflammatory" evidence, including the "Access Hollywood" tape and testimony from two other women alleging sexual misconduct.
- Separately, Carroll secured a $83.3 million defamation judgment in a second lawsuit, which remains on appeal as Trump's lawyers continue to challenge that ruling.
- Trump has consistently denied the allegations, characterizing the litigation as a distraction from his presidential duties; the Supreme Court's refusal effectively ends his challenge in this specific matter.
