Trump Appeals E. Jean Carroll’s $83.3 Million Defamation Verdict to Supreme Court
- Trump's appeal to the Supreme Court seeks to overturn an $83.3 million jury award, claiming presidential immunity for comments made while in office.
- His lawyers argue that the Westfall Act should allow the U.S. government to be the defendant instead of Trump, potentially nullifying Carroll's case.
- The Supreme Court's decision in 2024 on presidential immunity is crucial to Trump's argument, as previous appeals have been denied.
