- Trump and DOJ ask Supreme Court to toss $83 million defamation verdict in E. Jean Carroll case
President Donald Trump and the Justice Department are appealing 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 are invoking the Westfall Act. This follows a previous $5 million verdict in Carroll's favor, which the Supreme Court previously rejected.
