Trump and DOJ ask Supreme Court to toss $83 million defamation verdict in E. Jean Carroll case

President Trump and the Justice Department are requesting the Supreme Court to dismiss an $83 million defamation verdict against Trump in a case involving E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault. They argue Trump cannot be sued for comments made during his presidency and cite the Westfall Act to shield him from liability. This follows a prior $5 million verdict against Trump in the same case.
