The US Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear President Donald Trump's appeal of the $5 million (£3.8 million) civil judgement that found him liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s, leaving a sitting US president with a final court-affirmed finding of sexual misconduct.
An unsigned order issued on 29 June 2026 concluded a multi-year legal battle by Donald Trump's attorneys to overturn a 2023 Manhattan jury verdict. Despite this, a substantial separate defamation verdict from 2024 remains active in a lower federal appeals court. Combined with years of accumulated interest from both cases, Trump's total liability has exceeded $100 million (£76 million).
