Donald Trump's £3.75million sex abuse appeal bid rejected by Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court has refused President Donald Trump's bid to overturn a $5million (£3.75million) verdict in a case in which a jury found him liable for sexually abusing former magazine columnist, E. Jean Carrol.
The justices turned away President Trump's appeal after a lower court upheld the 2023 jury verdict and rejected his arguments that the trial was unfair because the judge impermissibly let jurors hear evidence of his alleged past sexual misconduct.
President Trump has been battling Ms Carroll ever since she published an excerpt from her memoir in 2019 in which she alleged that the President had raped her in around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.
