Loading ...DOJ And Trump Ask Supreme Court To Review $83.3 Million Carroll Verdict
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) asked the U.S. Supreme Court on July 28 to intervene in the defamation dispute between President Donald Trump and writer E. Jean Carroll.
The DOJ is arguing in the petition in United States v. Carroll that the federal government – not Trump personally – should be the defendant in the case that led to an $83.3 million verdict against Trump. At the same time, Trump’s private attorneys filed a petition with the high court in the case of Trump v. Carroll, asking the justices to review the same verdict, largely on grounds of presidential immunity.
