The US Supreme Court has rejected President Donald Trump‘s attempt to overturn a jury judgement that found he sexually assaulted and defamed writer E. Jean Carroll.
The court has declined for a second time to hear the president’s challenge, and it has given no reason for its decision.
The justices have also refused to hear Trump’s appeal against the original May 2023 verdict in late June.
Carroll, 82, a former journalist and columnist, accused Trump of assaulting her in a dressing room of a New York department store in 1996.
When the allegations were published in a 2019 book she wrote, the Republican billionaire called Carroll a “nut job” and claimed she had fabricated her case.
In a separate defamation case in New York, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million to Carroll. Trump has also appealed that judgment to the Supreme Court.
