AI Fusion Summary

President Trump's lawyers are petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn an $83.3 million defamation judgment awarded to E. Jean Carroll. The ruling followed Trump's 2019 denials of sexual assault allegations and attacks on Carroll's credibility. His legal team argues that presidential immunity applies because the statements were made while serving as president in response to questions regarding his fitness for office. This move follows an unsuccessful appeal to the federal appeals court regarding the judgment.
