The US Supreme Court again declines to hear President Donald Trump’s latest request to overturn a jury verdict awarding $5 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for allegations that he sexually abused her in the mid-1990s and later defamed her.

Multiple outlets report the court denies the request without taking any further action. Several sources note that this is the second time the justices refuse to consider Trump’s appeal in the case, after an earlier rejection in June. The Supreme Court’s order is described as brief, with no comment and no noted dissents in the reporting.

Sources also highlight that the Supreme Court’s decision means the civil verdict remains in place. Some outlets characterize the request as unusual, though not unheard of, and reference that Trump has paid the judgment after the court previously declined to review it, with at least one outlet citing payments of millions in damages. While coverage differs in emphasis, they broadly agree on the procedural outcome and that the $5 million award stands.
