- Court documents show that the Supreme Court on Monday denied Trump’s request to rehear a 2023 civil case in which he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll.
- In the lawsuit filed under the New York Adult Survivors Act in 2022, a jury awarded Carroll about $5 million in damages, while the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s review petition in June and his rehearing request on Monday.
- Carroll alleged in 2019 that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in New York City in the 1990s, leading to two separate trials.
- In a separate defamation case, a federal jury ordered Trump in 2024 to pay $83.3 million over remarks made while he was in office, and his team is currently seeking Supreme Court review based on presidential immunity.
No one is above the law, not even a former President of the United States.— Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said at the time.

- The unanimous ruling by the Texas Third Court of Appeals left more than $4.1 million in compensatory damages for parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis intact.
- More than $45 million in additional punitive damages was reduced to $1.5 million under the state’s $750,000 cap for each plaintiff.
- The ruling does not affect the $1.25 billion Connecticut judgment, and Jones has made no payments despite his appeals and the attempt to liquidate his company, according to the report.
- Jones said he would continue appealing to the Texas Supreme Court, while the parents’ attorney called the decision irrelevant because it affects only two of the 19 claims they share.
100% real.— Alex Jones, during the trial, conceded that the Sandy Hook attack was 100% real and that he lied about it.
