President Donald Trump HAS been convicted of sexual Misconduct ….
He’s on the hook for a further $83.3 Million for defaming Carroll in the first civil case judgement….
He tried to get the Supreme’s to get him off the hook….
THAT did NOT work….
He’s back knocking on the door to try to get out of paying for his actions AGAIN…..
The Supreme’s HAVE ruled that US President’s do NOT have immunity from civil suit’s involving ‘NON Official ‘ actions….
Sexual Misconduct actions one would think are NOT ‘Official Actions’?
President Trump on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to step in and overturn an $83.3 million jury award against him for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll after she accused him of a decades-old sexual assault in a Manhattan department store.
The president urged the justices to reject the jury’s award, asserting that the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision granting presidents sweeping immunity for actions they take in office shielded him from liability in the case.
“This is the first case in our nation’s history in which a court has imposed damages liability on a president for his conduct in office,” Mr. Trump’s lawyers said in a filing to the court reviewed by The New York Times.
Lawyers for Mr. Trump asserted that the question of whether he had immunity in the case was “straightforward on the undisputed factual record.” An appeals court had rejected that argument. Mr. Trump’s lawyers told the court that if the ruling was allowed to stand, it would cause “significant damage,” harming not only Mr. Trump but also future presidents and the nation.
The petition to the justices is the latest turn in Mr. Trump’s continued efforts to deny Ms. Carroll’s claims and avoid two separate monetary awards that juries ordered him to pay related to Ms. Carroll’s allegations that Mr. Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s and then defamed her in a series of statements and social media posts.
Lawyers for the Justice Department separately also asked the justices to take up the case, according to a filing to the court reviewed by The Times.
Ms. Carroll’s legal team declined a request for comment.
In late June, the Supreme Court rejected a separate request from Mr. Trump that the court review a $5 million judgment against him from a previous 2023 jury finding that he had sexually abused and defamed Ms. Carroll.
The court’s decision not to hear that case prompted a trial court judge to order that the money, which had been held in escrow while Mr. Trump appealed, be paid to Ms. Carroll.
Mr. Trump’s new petition relates to a far larger judgment awarded by a Manhattan jury in 2024. That jury awarded Ms. Carroll $65 million in punitive damages after determining that Mr. Trump had acted with malice in verbally attacking her in social media posts, at news conferences and during the trial. The jury also awarded Ms. Carroll $18.3 million in compensatory damages for her suffering…..
