Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Appeal in Sexual Abuse Case
June 29, 2026
The U.S. Supreme Court has declined Donald Trump's appeal regarding the sexual abuse case involving E. Jean Carroll, requiring him to pay $5 million. Carroll accused Trump of sexual assault in 1996 and subsequently defamation when she made her allegations public. The justices did not provide reasons for their decision. Trump responded, calling the decision 'unexpected' and vowed to continue his legal battle. Carroll's lawyer stated that the Supreme Court's ruling reinforces Trump’s accountability for his actions.
