Trump Asks SCOTUS to Overturn $83.3 Million Jury Award Against Him for Defaming E. Jean Carroll

President Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn an $83.3 million jury award against him for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. Carroll filed the defamation suit over remarks Trump made while president. Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5.8 million in connection with a separate Carroll lawsuit against Trump. Her lawyers say that Carroll has already collected the $5.8 million. In that case, a jury found that Trump had sexually abused and defamed her. www.democracynow.org
