President Donald Trump intends to ask the Supreme Court to review a civil jury verdict finding him liable for sexual abuse and defamation. His attorneys filed a request to extend the deadline for this petition. The initial verdict awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million in damages. Trump's legal team argues that significant issues and erroneous rulings arose from the trial. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals previously denied a rehearing, with two judges dissenting. These dissenting judges believed the rulings conflicted with established precedents and evidence rules. Trump's lawyer stated more time is needed due to other pressing legal matters. Carroll testified that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in 1996. The jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation for his denials in October 2022. Separately, another jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million for statements Trump made in 2019. Trump's lawyers claim the $5 million award was based on incorrect findings and improper legal interpretations. Carroll's attorney, however, expressed doubt that the cases present issues warranting Supreme Court review.
