Trump seeks Supreme Court relief to overturn $83M Carroll verdict

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to overturn the roughly $83.3 million verdict awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll, arguing the decision could chill presidents from official actions due to civil liability; federal appeals have upheld both Carroll verdicts, and the Court previously rejected his appeal in the related >$5 million case. Carroll’s sexual-abuse claims from 1996 sparked multiple lawsuits, and Trump’s lawyers cite presidential immunity for his 2019 comments, though appellate courts have emphasized the conduct’s egregiousness.
