The U.S. Supreme Court rejects President Donald Trump’s final request for a rehearing after the court declined to review E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case. The decision means Trump’s attorneys do not get another chance from the Supreme Court to challenge the outcome.
The case stems from a 2022 defamation verdict involving Carroll, a former magazine columnist. After the Supreme Court previously declined to consider a petition, Trump sought rehearing as what outlets describe as his last remaining option. With this latest filing denied, the defamation judgment stands.
Across the reports, the shared focus is the procedural end point: the Supreme Court’s refusal to rehear or further review the matter finalizes Carroll’s ability to receive the awarded damages. While outlets characterize the filing as Trump’s last shot, they align on the key result that the $5 million verdict is not disturbed by the Supreme Court.
