Trump urges Supreme Court to overturn E. Jean Carroll verdict

President Donald Trump is appealing to the US Supreme Court to overturn a $5 million civil verdict that found him liable for defaming and sexually abusing writer E Jean Carroll, after a jury in New York awarded her damages and a separate jury ordered him to pay $83 million for defamation. Trump claims the trial was unfair due to evidence he alleges was improperly allowed, and his lawyers are seeking to have the case reviewed by the Supreme Court, which is uncertain whether it will take the case.
