Trump’s $83 million defamation verdict heads to the Supreme Court as he argues presidential immunity shields him from liability for statements made during his presidency. The Justice Department counters by seeking to have the U.S. government step in as defendant under the Westfall Act, claiming his remarks were part of official duties — potentially nullifying the award. This high-stakes legal battle stems from E. Jean Carroll’s 1990s assault allegations and Trump’s public denials, which led to a jury awarding her damages last year. The appeals court upheld the verdict, but now the Supreme Court must decide whether to hear the case — a pivotal moment for presidential accountability and free speech.
