President Trump files Supreme Court petition to toss $83 million E Jean Carroll defamation judgment

Attorneys for President Donald Trump filed a petition Tuesday to toss the more than $83.3 million judgment in the defamation case brought by former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.

"This is the first case in our Nation’s history in which a court has imposed damages liability on a President for his conduct in office," the filing states. "Yet, in upholding the exorbitant $83.3 million defamation judgment here, the Second Circuit never even decided whether Presidential immunity applies to President Trump’s allegedly defamatory statements — statements made from the White House, in response to press questions, denying allegations of personal misconduct directly questioning his fitness for office."
