In a series of rulings, the Supreme Court delivered a complex set of outcomes for Donald Trump’s personal and political future. The apex court refused to toss a $5 million verdict for sexual abuse and defamation involving E. Jean Carroll, ending a major avenue for appeal. Simultaneously, the justices significantly expanded the president's power to fire heads of independent agencies, though they notably protected Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from immediate removal. Finally, the Court rejected a Trump-led effort to stop states from counting late-arriving mail ballots, highlighting the legal limits of his influence over national election rules.
