Trump and the Justice Department filed with the Supreme Court seeking review of the $83 million verdict E. Jean Carroll won against him. Trump claims Carroll did a 'bait-and-switch' with her money.
Trump and the Justice Department filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to review the $83 million verdict that E. Jean Carroll won in her defamation case against him. Trump's argument centers on what he calls a "bait-and-switch" with Carroll's damages claim—the idea being that the damages awarded don't match what she originally sought.
A joint filing from the DOJ alongside Trump's personal legal team signals the government is treating this as a matter of broader legal principle, not just defending one person. Getting the Supreme Court to take the case is a separate hurdle from winning it, and the Court takes only a fraction of petitions it receives. Even if justices decline to hear it, the filing itself keeps the case in public view while the verdict's enforcement remains uncertain.
