"Trump's Legal Woes Mount: Latest Developments in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case"
TL;DR
Donald Trump's legal team may seek Supreme Court intervention after a federal appeals court rejected their argument for presidential immunity in a defamation lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll. The civil trial, set to begin on January 16, relates to allegations that Trump defamed Carroll's character by denying her assault accusations. Trump's team has previously sought Supreme Court rulings on immunity in other cases, and the conservative-majority court's decision to take up this civil case remains uncertain.
