Supreme Court Declines to Hear Trump's Appeal
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal filed by former President Donald Trump regarding a $5 million (£3.6 million) civil case in which he was found to have defamed and sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll.
Trump has consistently argued that the judge presiding over the civil trial improperly permitted evidence that influenced the jury's perception of him.
A federal appeals court upheld the jury's verdict last year, ruling that a new trial was unnecessary. Following this decision, Trump petitioned the Supreme Court to intervene.
Details of the Civil Case
A New York jury awarded damages to Carroll based on her civil claim that Trump sexually assaulted her during the 1990s. Subsequently, Trump publicly dismissed the incident as a hoax on social media. He has denied all allegations.
