Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Latest Attempt to Overturn E. Jean Carroll Verdict
The Supreme Court has once again rejected Donald Trump's attempt to overturn a $5 million verdict awarded to E. Jean Carroll. The decision was reported by NBC New York.
New York, NY, August 17, 2026 —
The Supreme Court has once again denied Donald Trump’s bid to overturn a $5 million defamation verdict previously awarded to E. Jean Carroll.
The latest rejection by the nation’s highest court marks another step in the ongoing legal proceedings following the verdict. The original judgment stemmed from a civil lawsuit filed by Carroll, who accused Trump of defamation.
In a previous ruling, a jury found Trump liable for defaming Carroll and awarded her $5 million in damages. Trump had sought to have this verdict overturned through various legal channels. The Supreme Court’s decision means the $5 million verdict against Trump remains in place.
Further details regarding the specific legal arguments presented in this latest attempt by Trump to overturn the verdict, or the exact timeline of the Supreme Court’s consideration, were not immediately available.
