Jurors delivered Carroll the huge award on 26 January 2024, less than one year after the journalist and author won $5m in her sexual abuse and defamation case against Trump.

Trump’s lawyers have also claimed that absent supreme court intervention, “the sitting President is facing nearly a hundred million dollars of personal liability for conduct that was well within the scope of his federal office … that alone deserves this court’s attention.”

Trump’s lawyers said that a supreme court review of this verdict would “protect not the President himself, but the institution of the Presidency”.

They said “after all, the specter of personal liability for official conduct, in an amount that would bankrupt virtually any other President, will chill the exercise of executive power by future Presidents.”

that → say → Presidents
Carroll’s lawyers, helmed by attorney Roberta Kaplan, noted that the verdict in Carroll’s second trial – which weighed damages, as the former Elle columnist’s first trial ended in a jury finding that Trump sexually abused and defamed her – has been repeatedly upheld by lower courts, undermining Trump’s request.
asserted
Trump → helm → request
“For seven years – through five appeals, eight stay motions, and six days of trial – Ms Carroll has litigated this case in the face of petitioner’s increasingly vicious accusations and thousands of threats of death and sexual violence from his followers,” they wrote.

they → litigate → followers
Trump’s defamatory statements, they said, “had a domino effect”.

These attacks included “threats of sexual violence, physical violence, and death.”

attacks → include → violence
“While this President may want this Court’s help, the Presidency does not need it,” they also said.
uncertain
they → want → it
Trump in September agreed to stop fighting the first jury verdict after the supreme court once again rebuffed his efforts to hear his appeal.

The litigation stems from Carroll’s claim that Trump attacked her in the dressing room of a Tony Manhattan department store several decades earlier.
