  "summary": "The US Supreme Court has once again rejected former President Donald Trump's attempt to overturn a $5 million civil verdict in favor of writer E Jean Carroll, confirming the jury's finding that he sexually abused and defamed her. The decision came after Trump's lawyers argued that the trial was unfair and that the court should reconsider its earlier decision. Carroll, a former advice columnist for Elle magazine, first accused Trump of sexual assault in 2019, which Trump denied and characterized as a \"hoax\" and a \"con job\" on social media. The case focused on Trump's statements in 2022, where he described Carroll's allegation as such. The Supreme Court's decision is final, and Trump has paid nearly $5.63 million, including the original $5 million judgment and interest.",
