Trump Seeks More Time to Ask Supreme Court to Review $5 Million E. Jean Carroll Verdict

The request would move his filing deadline to Nov. 10, a procedural step that could influence Carroll’s separate $83.3 million defamation judgment.

Overview

  • Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to extend the certiorari petition deadline from Sept. 11 to Nov. 10.
  • A 2023 jury found the president liable for sexual abuse and defamation and awarded $5 million, a decision the Second Circuit has upheld after denying en banc review in June.
  • The larger $83.3 million defamation award is on appeal, with a Second Circuit panel hearing arguments in June and a decision still pending.
  • About $95 million tied to both judgments is held in court-controlled accounts and is accruing interest during the appeals.
  • Trump’s planned petition targets trial evidentiary rulings, including testimony from other accusers, while Carroll’s lawyer says no issues warrant Supreme Court review.
