WASHINGTON, United States (AFP)—The United States (US) Supreme Court rejected on Monday Donald Trump’s effort to overturn a jury judgment that he sexually assaulted and defamed E Jean Carroll and must pay her $5 million.

The court’s decision not to hear the US president’s challenge was issued as part of a raft of other rulings and contained no reasons.

On May 9, 2023, the federal civil court in Manhattan found Trump liable for a “sexual assault” on the former newspaper columnist in a New York department store in 1996.
