The Supreme Court rejected for the second time an effort by President Donald Trump to avoid paying more than $5.6 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for sexually abusing and defaming her.
The court on Aug. 17 declined to reconsider Trump’s appeal of a 2023 jury verdict in a civil suit brought by Carroll.
Trump had to pay Carroll the $5 million judgment plus interest after the court first rejected his appeal on June 29.
It’s rare for litigants to ask for a second look and even rarer for the court to grant one.
Trump’s lawyers said reconsideration was warranted because the case is connected to another appeal involving Carroll that they have asked the Supreme Court to hear.
