The Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump's request to toss a jury's $5 million verdict in a case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll claiming Trump sexually abused and defamed her.
The high court did not explain their decision not to take up the case, which is typical, the Associated Press reported.
Trump's lawyers argued that Carroll's allegations were supported by "highly evidentiary" rulings, which included allowing testimony from two other women who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago. The judge broke federal evidence rules in the case, they say, and they argued the case is a distraction from Trump's unique duties as president.
Trump has denied the accusations from Carroll and the other two accusers.
