President Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a jury's civil lawsuit verdict that he sexually abused and later defamed former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll, according to a filing made by Trump's lawyers. The juror's verdict found Trump liable for damages in the case, which was settled out of court with an undisclosed amount. Trump is challenging the verdict, claiming it was based on 'fraudulent' evidence and 'inaccurate' testimony from key witnesses. The Supreme Court will now review the matter and consider whether to uphold or overturn the jury's decision.
