Trump asks Supreme Court to void $83M Carroll defamation verdict
TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump and the U.S. Justice Department have asked the Supreme Court to overturn an $83 million defamation verdict awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll, arguing that presidential immunity shields him from liability for remarks made during his presidency; the request follows a prior Supreme Court denial of review for a related $5 million ruling and hinges on invoking the Westfall Act to limit personal liability for conduct while in office, with Carroll accusing Trump of sexual assault in 1996 and Trump denying the allegations.
