President Donald Trump is making a desperate last-ditch plea to the Supreme Court in his scheme to avoid paying millions more to E. Jean Carroll. In their filing to the Supreme Court, the president’s lawyers—Robert J. Giuffra and Michael C. Martinich-Sauter—argued that the appeals court never addressed whether presidential immunity applied in the case. Trump is also asking the Supreme Court, which includes three Trump appointees, to review whether the federal government should have been named as the defendant in the case instead of him. With the Supreme Court on summer recess, the justices are not expected to consider whether to take up the case until late September. Last month, the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request that the $5 million civil verdict be tossed in an unexplained order, after which his legal team once again failed to persuade a lower court to block the payment.
