Supreme Court rejects Trump's renewed appeal in Carroll lawsuit

The Supreme Court denied a long-shot effort by President Donald Trump to review the $5 million civil judgment finding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.

The high court denied Trump’s bid for a rehearing in an orders list published on Monday, declining to elaborate on the decision not to take up the case for arguments. The Supreme Court initially denied Trump’s appeal at the end of June, but the president’s lawyers filed a petition for rehearing, a long-shot bid to get the high court to rethink its decision, which was also denied on Monday.
