The Supreme Court refused Monday to take up President Trump's appeal in his defamation fight with writer E. Jean Carroll, leaving a $5 million judgment against him intact and clearing one more legal hurdle for Carroll.
E. Jean Carroll said Thursday she "did not commit perjury," pushing back against a reported Department of Justice criminal investigation centered on statements she made during a deposition in her civil lawsuit against President Donald Trump.
In a 2022 deposition, E. Jean Carroll said something simple and definitive: she had received no outside funding to pursue her civil lawsuits against Donald Trump.
A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump does not have to pay the $83 million defamation judgment to writer E. Jean Carroll while the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether to accept his appeal.
