Trump asks Supreme Court to throw out E. Jean Carroll's $83 million verdict
Trump says presidential immunity shields him from liability and seeks to shift the case to the federal government as defendant.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to overturn an $83.3 million defamation verdict involving columnist E. Jean Carroll, claiming presidential immunity for 2019 comments made while in office.
- Trump's legal team contends his 2019 remarks constituted "official acts" made as president. An appeals court previously rejected these arguments, finding the award "reasonable in light of the extraordinary and egregious facts."
- Separately, Trump accuses Carroll of pulling a $5.62 million "bait-and-switch" with payment funds, alleging she moved the money into a personal investment account despite assurances it would sit in an "interest-bearing account."
- Trump's attorneys are asking the court to return the funds under judicial supervision, warning the money could be difficult to recover. Carroll's legal team disputes these concerns, arguing the judgment remains valid.
- The Supreme Court is reviewing Carroll-related litigation for the second time in two months, with Trump also contesting a separate $5 million verdict. These appeals rely on the high court's 2024 immunity decision.
