President Donald Trump is again asking the Supreme Court to intervene in his yearslong legal battle with writer E. Jean Carroll, arguing that he should not have to pay an $83.3 million jury award on the grounds of presidential immunity. Former President Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. The appeals court denied the request, as did a three-judge panel that rejected an appeal from Trump in September that was based on presidential immunity. The Supreme Court denied Trump’s request last month to review a separate successful defamation lawsuit filed by Carroll. Carroll collected the award from that judgment this month after Trump tried repeatedly to block the payment in court.
