The Supreme Court has effectively ended Donald Trump’s challenge to the defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll. The court unanimously rejected his appeal of the verdict and associated judgment, signaling the finality of the case. Carroll’s legal team responded by stating it is "time for him to pay,” referencing the substantial damages awarded to their client. Trump had sought to overturn the rulings, arguing presidential immunity protected him from the claims, but the Supreme Court declined to intervene. The case stemmed from statements Trump made while president, denying Carroll’s allegations of sexual assault and defamation. This decision allows the original judgment against Trump to stand, potentially opening the door for enforcement of the financial penalties.
