Trump to Ask SCOTUS to Overturn $5 Million Verdict in E. Jean Carroll Sex Abuse Case

HeadlineSep 04, 2025

President Trump is expected to ask the Supreme Court to overturn the $5 million verdict in a civil suit that found that he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll. Carroll’s lawyer Roberta Kaplan said, “We do not believe that President Trump will be able to present any legal issues in the Carroll cases that merit review by the United States Supreme Court.” In 2023, Carroll testified that Trump had violently attacked her in a dressing room at a department store in the mid-1990s. She also won $83.3 million in a defamation case, after Trump called her a liar.
