President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn the $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict won against him by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, CNN reported on Monday.

“There were no eyewitnesses, no video evidence, and no police report or investigation,” said Trump's appeal to the high court. “Instead, Carroll waited more than 20 years to falsely accuse Donald Trump, who she politically opposes, until after he became the 45th president, when she could maximize political injury to him and profit for herself.”

Carroll has alleged that Trump raped her in a department store in New York City in the late 1990s, although she does not recall the exact date. Trump has categorically denied these claims and asserts she is fabricating the story either to injure him or to advance her own career, which formed the basis of Carroll's lawsuit for defamation.
