On Monday, the Supreme Court rejected, for the second time, President Donald Trump's request to overturn a jury verdict ordering him to pay $5 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.

Trump asks the Supreme Court to overturn the $83.3 million judgment for defaming E. Jean Carroll
Emmanuel Alejandro Rondón
Trump has already paid the $5 million, plus interest. The case stemmed from a federal lawsuit filed by Carroll in New York, in which she alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in 1996.
The defamation allegations stem from statements Trump made about Carroll after his first presidential term. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that he does not know Carroll.
