- The Supreme Court denied President Donald Trump's request to review a $5 million jury verdict in E. Jean Carroll's sexual abuse and defamation case.
- Trump stated on Truth Social that he would continue to fight the verdict, calling it a "Fake Case" and "Weaponization and Lawfare Case."
- Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's lawyer, affirmed that the Supreme Court's decision validates the jury's unanimous verdict and concludes Trump's attempts to evade accountability.

- This legal dispute is part of a broader battle, including another $83.3 million defamation verdict against Trump, which he is also appealing.
