Trump's $5 Million Sex Assault Judgment Is Now Final — Supreme Court Rejects His Last Appeal
The Hindu·Tuesday, 30 June 2026
The US Supreme Court rejected President Trump's final appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case, meaning he must now pay Carroll the $5 million in damages awarded after a federal civil court in Manhattan found him liable for sexual assault in 1996. The court found him liable for assaulting Carroll in a New York department store.
Why It Matters
A sitting US president being ordered by the Supreme Court to pay damages in a sexual assault case is historically unprecedented and reflects the limits of presidential power before the courts.
