The Supreme Court once again declined to take up President Trump's attempt to toss a jury's $5 million finding that he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.
The big picture: Carroll's payday had been long delayed as the president fought the verdict. The Supreme Court already declined to throw it out earlier this year.
Driving the news: The justices did not explain their reasoning for declining to take up the challenge, as is typical.
Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

"1995 or '96. Something like that."
She is a LYING NUTCASE!
Trump INSISTED on putting women on the Supreme Court - he shouldn’t be surprised as the Tribe ALWAYS takes priority.
The lawfare against Trump has only diminished. It hasn’t disappeared
It should be obvious by now Roberts enjoys hurting Trump. No doubt he rationalizes this hate by basking in a bipartisan glow. In the meanwhile it has turned the court from a protector of the innocent into an enforcer of the mob.
FR needs a “like” button.
“1995 or ‘96. Something like that.”
With just about anybody else at any time in world history, that case would have been thrown out with that answer.
It is an outrageous affront to common sense, not even throwing in the evidentiary aspects, which are more cautious and have a much higher bar.
She’ll never see one cent of the President’s money.
The Court’s action today was not a merits decision with individual opinions; it denied Donald Trump’s petition for rehearing in the E. Jean Carroll $5 million civil-verdict case. As a result, there are no separate written rulings, vote count, concurrences, or dissents attributed to individual justices.wtvbam
In other words, the order reflects the Court’s refusal to revisit its earlier June denial of Trump’s appeal, leaving the 2023 jury verdict intact. The Court did not publish a justice-by-justice breakdown.wtvbam
The 2023 civil jury verdict finding Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, with a $5 million award.
Carroll has already collected approximately $5.63 million including interest, according to Reuters.
This is separate from Carroll’s $83.3 million defamation judgment arising from Trump’s 2019 statements; the Supreme Court is still considering whether to take up Trump’s appeal in that separate case.wtvbam
A denial of rehearing does not necessarily mean every justice agreed with every lower-court ruling or with the jury’s findings. It only means there were not enough votes to grant Trump’s request to reopen the matter. Because no justice publicly noted a dissent or statement, the Court’s order provides no reliable way to identify how any particular justice voted.
“Carroll received the more than $5 million she was owed earlier this year, which her legal team said she would place in an interest-bearing account until Trump’s petition was denied.”
The justices think that SCCOTUS exists to set policy, not remedy errors, no matter how political or unjust. I don’t blame Trump for using insider knowledge to profit on the stock market as he is immune from prosecution as POTUS. He can pardon himself when he leaves office if he wants. No man should be subjected to such vexatious litigation from a female lunatic like this.
This is a real injustice, she sure gets different coverage and different results than what Clinton’s credible accusers got.
Gennifer Flowers even pulled out audi tapes that Bill didn’t know she had, and he still denied it and got away with it in the media, while apologizing to Mario Cuomo for remarks on the tapes.
“News reports at the time speculated that the taped phone conversations between Flowers and Clinton could have been doctored” was the media reaction.
How can they let this stand, oh that’s right . They are the same justices that let the birthright citizenship stand.
Unlass New York City is nuked the Trump Harassment will continue for ever.
New York City is an American enemy
I know reading the article is anathema around here, though I admit that the article, like most reporting on legal issues, is very sloppy and buried the lede: the issue before the court was whether his conduct was shielded by presidential immunity. I always thought this was a lame argument, not likely to succeed, and his lawyers knew it, too
I fail to see how Trump using insider knowledge for his own profit is germane to this ruling today, but while we’re jumping topics here, do you think it was OK for Nancy Pelosi to do the same thing?
“”It should be obvious by now Roberts enjoys hurting Trump. No doubt he rationalizes this hate by basking in a bipartisan glow. In the meanwhile it has turned the court from a protector of the innocent into an enforcer of the mob.””

Spot-on.
I can’t imagine he’s going to pay this. There’s got to be other ways to go about this.
Goldigging ho.
