Supreme Court Rejects Trump Appeal, Carroll Seeks Enforcement of $5 Million Judgment
The U. S. Supreme Court refused to hear President Donald Trump's appeal of a New York jury verdict that found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll, leaving a $5 million judgment in place. The denial, reported by CNBC and The Guardian, closed the last avenue for Trump to challenge the verdict. The lower-court verdict, issued by a New York jury, had ordered Trump to pay $5 million for the abuse and defamation claims.
After the high court's ruling, E. Jean Carroll filed a petition in Manhattan federal court seeking an order to enforce the judgment. In the filing, reported by The New York Times and AP, she asked the judge to require Trump to pay the nearly $5. 8 million award, which includes interest and costs. The request aims to compel payment of the judgment that remains in force after the Supreme Court declined review.
