President Donald Trump ’s legal team on Monday appealed a New York jury’s 2023 verdict that found him liable for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll decades ago to the Supreme Court.

Trump has denied Carroll’s accusation that he sexually abused her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s, suggesting she first publicly brought up the matter in 2019 to help promote her book that year. After the president accused Carroll of lying and said she was not “my type,” the writer mounted a successful defamation lawsuit against him.
