- Trump and the Justice Department have asked the Supreme Court to toss an $83 million defamation verdict awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll, saying he can't be sued for comments he made while president.
- The DOJ invokes the Westfall Act/presidential-immunity arguments, warning the case could saddle a president with nearly $100 million in personal liability and set a major precedent.
- The move follows a separate $5 million judgment already paid to Carroll over related claims; she has publicly accused Trump of a 1996 sexual assault and juries have sided with her.
