Scoop: Trump asks Supreme Court to overturn $83M judgment for E. Jean Carroll
Trump's legal team has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the $83.3 million defamation judgment against him for comments he made denying E. Jean Carroll's sexual assault allegation from 2019. They argue that Trump should have immunity as a former president because the statements were made while he was in office. This move is significant because it could set a precedent on the extent of presidential immunity, affecting future cases involving public officials. The outcome could have broad implications for how defamation claims are treated when made by former high-ranking officials.
