## Resource

The Supreme Court has shut down Donald Trump’s last-ditch legal effort to overturn a five-million-dollar jury verdict finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation by E. Jean Carroll, with no explanation given — a move that drew no dissent. Trump’s team argued the verdict was tainted by testimony from other women who accused him of abuse, claiming the judge improperly allowed it and that it unfairly distracted from his presidential duties — though the case predates his presidency. The court’s refusal to hear the appeal means the jury’s decision stands, a win for Carroll whose testimony centered on a 1990s assault in a department store dressing room. Carroll’s lawyers had urged the court to let the case stand, arguing the other women’s testimony was legally relevant and the judge’s rulings were consistent with precedent. This latest legal setback adds to Trump’s mounting legal challenges, especially as the Supreme Court weighs other major cases that could impact his political future.
