Which Carroll Verdict Did the Supreme Court Reject?
The Supreme Court's Aug. 17, 2026 denial of reconsideration in Trump v. Carroll (docket 25-573) affects only the $5 million defamation verdict; the separate $83.3 million award remained pending at the high court, with payment stayed on a bond of nearly $100 million. The verified docket timeline separates the two judgments and shows why the denial was a procedural refusal, not a merits ruling.
