President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a 2023 federal jury verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, according to CBS News.
Trump is seeking to overturn the $5 million judgment, calling Carroll’s accusations “politically motivated” and “implausible.”
His appeal argues that the trial judge, Lewis Kaplan, made several evidentiary errors that unfairly influenced the jury. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals had previously denied his appeals, leaving the Supreme Court as his final legal avenue.

A spokesman for Trump’s legal team described the lawsuit as part of ongoing “Liberal Lawfare” and claimed Americans “stand with President Trump.” Carroll’s attorneys, partially funded by a nonprofit linked to a Democratic donor, have dismissed those claims as irrelevant.
Trump has consistently denied Carroll’s allegations since she went public in 2019, calling the lawsuits “hoaxes.”
