Trump asks Supreme Court to throw out E. Jean Carroll's $5 million verdict

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to throw out a jury’s finding in a civil lawsuit that he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll at a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s and later defamed her.

Trump’s lawyers argued in a lengthy filing with the high court that allegations leading to the $5 million verdict were “propped up” by a “series of indefensible evidentiary rulings" that allowed Carroll's lawyers to present “highly inflammatory propensity evidence” against him.

Carroll, a longtime advice columnist and former TV talk show host, testified at a 2023 trial that Trump turned a friendly encounter in spring 1996 into a violent attack in the dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman, a luxury retailer across the street from Trump Tower.

The jury also found Trump liable for defaming Carroll when he made comments in October 2022 denying her allegation.

“Time to pay up for all the untaxed tips”
Especially you uncle Thomas.
How does it feel Thomas, to still be owned by white men after all these years. I guess pretty good up in the big house, with all the trimmings.
Hell has him a spot.

If for no other reason, I think they will calculate there are bigger fish to fry on Trump's behalf, and they don't want to make it even MORE publicly obvious they are doing Trump's bidding over a measly $5M of his own personal dough. There's corporations needing shady-ass multi-billion dollar rulings in their favor after all!

Plus it's a sexual assault case, so this would be a particularly untoward look for them. I look for Coney Barrett and Roberts to join our three wonderful ladies on this decision, and since that will mean it fails, Boofer Brett will glom on as well since he won't want his own rape allegations to be brought up again by the media if he votes to shield Trump from the consequences of his rapey actions.
