Former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to reject President Donald Trump's petition seeking the court's review of her successful $5 million defamation case against him.

Trump was found liable in 2023 of sexually abusing Carroll, a former Elle magazine writer, in a department store dressing room in the 1990s and then defaming her when he denied it. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million, which Trump still owes.

Trump asked the Supreme Court to intervene, arguing the judge in the case should not have allowed the jury to view an excerpt from the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape, in which Trump is heard describing lewd behavior that he downplayed as "locker room talk."

Trump also faulted the trial judge for allowing testimony from two women -- Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff -- who claimed that Trump had sexually assaulted them, which Trump denies.
