The Supreme Court once again declined to take up President Trump's attempt to toss a jury's $5 million finding that he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.
The big picture: Carroll's payday had been long delayed as the president fought the verdict. The Supreme Court already declined to throw it out earlier this year.
Driving the news: The justices did not explain their reasoning for declining to take up the challenge, as is typical.
What they're saying: A spokesman for Trump's legal team slammed what he described as the "Democrat-funded travesty of the Carroll Hoaxes" in a statement provided to Axios.
Catch up quick: Carroll filed two lawsuits against Trump stemming from her allegation that he sexually assaulted her in a New York department store in the mid-1990s and his subsequent denials.
Editor's note: This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
