President Donald Trump will have to pay the $5 million in damages he owes writer E. Jean Carroll after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal of the verdict, which was reached after a 2023 civil trial in which he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
“This Win Is For Every Woman in the World!!” Carroll wrote Monday on X.
Carroll alleges Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in 1996. When she wrote about the assault in her memoir in 2019, Trump unequivocally denied the allegation, telling a reporter from The Hill “she’s [Carroll] not my type.” Carroll filed a lawsuit, known as Carroll I, against Trump shortly after, alleging he had defamed her character.
