Expressions are given for the electromagnetic final-state interaction contribution to $D$, the triple-product correlation coefficient, in the nuclear $\beta$-decay transitions ${\frac{1}{2}}^{\pm }\to {\frac{3}{2}}^{\pm }$, ${\frac{3}{2}}^{\pm }\to {\frac{5}{2}}^{\pm }$, and ${\frac{5}{2}}^{\pm }\to {\frac{7}{2}}^{\pm }$ to all orders of $\frac{Z\alpha }{v_e}$ in the Coulomb interaction. The contribution to $D$ from the final-state magnetic scattering is investigated to order $\alpha$.
