Trump, 80, repeatedly appealed and even sought Supreme Court review, but the justices declined. He called the denial an "injustice" on Truth Social and criticized laws cited by Carroll's team. Carroll still awaits collection on a separate $83.3 million defamation verdict from 2024, which remains under appeal.
Carroll first described an alleged mid-1990s incident in her memoir and sued after Trump publicly denied her account and accused her of lying to promote her book.
