Trump asks Supreme Court to throw out Carroll's $5M win
..... President Donald Trump is taking his last shot at overturning a $5 million jury award he was ordered to pay in 2023 after being found liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.
.....
Trump is asking the Supreme Court to review the verdict, which was upheld by an appeals court, a spokesperson for his legal team said November 11. [2025] The 314-page filing contends that Carroll waited more than 20 years to raise her accusations after Trump became president.
..... Carroll said in 2019 that Trump sexually assaulted her at a New York City department store in 1996, and Trump fired back with allegations that she was making up the story to sell her book.
..... "President Trump has clearly and consistently denied that this supposed incident ever occurred. No physical or DNA evidence corroborates Carroll's story,' the filing states. "There were no eyewitnesses, no video evidence, and no police report or investigation."
