President Donald Trump's lawyers have asked the Supreme Court to rehear its decision rejecting his appeal of a $5 million civil judgment awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll. The request comes after the court initially denied Trump's attempt to overturn the ruling, which found him liable for defamation and breach of contract in a lawsuit over his claim that Carroll fabricated an alleged rape. Trump had previously filed an appeal with the high court but it was rejected, prompting his lawyers' new request for rehearing. The case has significant implications for free speech and accountability among public figures.
