Supreme Court Again Rejects Trump's Bid to Overturn E. Jean Carroll Verdict

On August 17, 2026, the US Supreme Court denied Trump's rehearing petition in Trump v. Carroll — its second refusal to revisit the 2023 verdict holding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Carroll has collected roughly $5.8 million. Her attorney says the verdict is now final. A separate $83.3 million Carroll judgment remains on appeal.
