WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) â The United States (US) Supreme Court on Monday rejected for a second time President Donald Trumpâs attempt to overturn a jury judgment that he sexually assaulted and defamed writer E Jean Carroll.
The Supreme Court did not give any reason for its decision not to hear the presidentâs challenge. The court in late June also refused to hear Trumpâs appeal against the original May 2023 verdict.
Carroll, 82, a former journalist and columnist, accused Trump of assaulting her in a dressing room of a New York department store in 1996.
