The Supreme Court declined on Monday to consider President Trump’s appeal of a $5 million verdict in a civil suit that found that he sexually assaulted writer E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room in the 1990s — and later defamed her. The court dismissed the case without explanation. Trump’s lawyers have indicated they’ll ask the Supreme Court to consider a second defamation case successfully brought by E. Jean Carroll after Trump called her a liar, following the first verdict. Trump was ordered to pay more than $83 million in that case.
