DOJ intervenes in Trump's appeal of E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million defamation judgment
The Department of Justice announced it intends to intervene and appeal President Trump's $83.3 million defamation judgment from the E. Jean Carroll case to the Supreme Court. The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump's request for a full court rehearing but agreed to stay the judgment pending Supreme Court review, requiring Trump to post a $7.4 million bond. Trump's legal team is seeking Supreme Court review on grounds of presidential immunity and the Westfall Act.
