Trump Must Pony up $5M to E. Jean Carroll after SCOTUS Refuses Prez’s Appeal of Sex Abuse, Defamation Verdict

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up President Trump’s appeal of the initial $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict that followed a lawsuit by former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Now Trump will have no choice but to pony up the $5 million to the 82-year-old, who has repeatedly claimed that the president sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room during the mid-1990s.

Trump slammed the ruling and vowed to continue the fight against Carroll. A separate case between the two is working its way through the legal system.

“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!),” he wrote on Truth Social.

“I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength. This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President,” he added.

Trump’s lawyers had argued that, as president, he should not be distracted from his executive duties in order to deal with “decades-old, false allegations.” (Read more from “Trump Must Pony up $5M to E. Jean Carroll after SCOTUS Refuses Prez’s Appeal of Sex Abuse, Defamation Verdict” HERE)
