The Supreme Court rejected a request from Donald Trump to reconsider its previous refusal to hear his appeal of a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict won by writer E. Jean Carroll, finalizing the payout.
The $5 Million Verdict: The high court officially turned away Trump's petition for a rehearing, keeping the 2023 jury finding and judgment fully intact. Trump previously turned over the $5 million plus interest.
