US Supreme Court again rejects Trump's bid to overturn $5mn E Jean Carroll verdict

JUST IN: The US Supreme Court again rejects Donald Trump's bid to overturn the $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict, leaving in place the jury finding that he was liable for sexual abuse and defamation.

The Supreme Court just told Donald Trump no, again, on E Jean Carroll.

The justices rejected his bid to overturn the five million dollar verdict, which means the jury's finding stands. Liable for sexual abuse, liable for defamation. That was the writer E Jean Carroll's case, and she has now beaten the sitting president at every level of the federal court system.

He fought this one all the way up, and this is the second time the high court has turned him away on it. There is nowhere left to appeal. The word again in that ruling is doing a lot of work, because it means the strategy of outlasting the case has officially run out of road.

So the record is now permanent. A jury found the President of the United States liable for sexual abuse, and the Supreme Court has let it stand. That's the fact that doesn't move anymore.
