The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court to hear his bid to overturn the $83.3 million defamation verdict E. Jean Carroll won in a 2024 federal civil trial. The Justice Department filed separately in support, seeking to let the federal government replace Trump as defendant under a law covering employees sued for acts within their official duties. A federal appeals court in New York upheld the award and declined rehearing in late April; the Supreme Court recently rejected Trump’s separate appeal of Carroll’s $5 million sexual abuse and defamation judgment.
