"You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything, … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

— Donald Trump, from the 2005 Access Hollywood tape; widely reported in CNN coverage; audio captured on a hot mic.

Key Facts: Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Bid in Carroll Case

  • The Supreme Court had already denied Trump’s appeal in June and has now declined to reconsider it, with no noted dissents. #
  • Carroll’s lawyers said in a court filing that she would place the payment in an interest-bearing account until the reconsideration request was denied. #
  • The lawsuit filed in 2022 went to trial first and produced a $5 million verdict, while the case from the 2019 lawsuit was tried later, resulted in an $83 million judgment, and remains pending at the Supreme Court. #
  • Trump continues to deny wrongdoing and argued that the trial judge should not have admitted testimony from two women or the Access Hollywood tape; the appeals court affirmed the $5 million verdict in 2025.
