E. Jean Carroll celebrates Supreme Court defeat of Trump’s appeal

E. Jean Carroll, now 82, celebrated a legal win after the Supreme Court refused to hear Donald Trump’s challenge to a civil verdict that held him responsible for sexual assault and defamation. Appearing on a Zoom call from her chalet, she described the decision as a step toward rebuilding what she says Trump destroyed. The original trial had concluded with a judgment against Trump, and the high court’s denial of his appeal means the ruling remains in force.

Carroll, a journalist and writer, emphasized the significance of the outcome for her personal quest for accountability. She also noted her distinctive attire during the call, reflecting her resilient personality. The development underscores the continued legal pressures facing the president.
