The US Supreme Court will not hear an appeal requested by President Donald Trump to review the civil case that found he defamed and sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll.<\/p>\n

A New York jury awarded Carroll $5m (\u00a33.6m) in damages in 2023 over her civil claim that Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, and then branded the incident a hoax on social media.<\/p>\n

Trump denied the allegations and repeatedly claimed that the judge who oversaw the civil trial improperly allowed evidence to be presented that affected how the jury viewed him.<\/p>\n

A federal appeals court agreed with the jury’s verdict last year and said a new trial was not warranted. Trump then asked the highest court to intervene.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court gave no details about their decision not to take up the case, as is customary.<\/p>\n

It was Trump’s\u00a0<\/b>final hope of overturning the jury’s unanimous verdict and means he will have to pay Carroll the damages she had been awarded.<\/p>\n

Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement that the Supreme Court’s decision “affirms once and for all the jury’s unanimous verdict that President Donald J Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E Jean Carroll”.<\/p>\n

“His multiple efforts to appeal that verdict have all failed and today’s ruling ends his quest to avoid accountability for his actions,” she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
