President Donald Trump was left fuming Monday after the Supreme Court rejected his appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case.

In a Monday afternoon Truth Social post, the president said:

Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to “review” a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!). I will continue the fight against this Weaponization and Lawfare Case against me, including the ridiculous claim of Defamation, with all of my power and strength. This Case is really against the United States of America, and all it stands for, and should never be allowed to happen to another President, or Candidate to be! New York State created a Law, for an instant speck of time, going back many decades, in order to wrongfully “nab” me. It was tailormade, and this Injustice cannot be allowed to stand! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Carroll filed multiple civil suits against Trump for both defamation and sexual assault. In 2023, the president was found liable for the assault and ordered to pay $5 million. In the defamation case, Carroll was awarded more than $83 million. Trump’s appeal of that ruling was also unsuccessful.

As noted in the Truth Social post, Trump has repeatedly denied the accusations and insisted he had never even met Carroll.
