From the Washington Examiner: President Donald Trump will appeal a New York jury’s 2023 verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll to the Supreme Court.
The president’s lawyers filed an application to the Supreme Court last week, requesting a 60-day extension to file a petition for the justices to consider. A divided full bench on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit denied Trump’s bid for an en banc review in June after a three-judge panel on the 2nd Circuit rejected his appeal in December.
“President Trump intends to seek review by this Court of significant issues arising from the Second Circuit’s erroneous decision,” Trump’s lawyers said in the filing, which appeared on the high court’s public docket this week.
The high court has yet to grant or deny the requested deadline extension. If the time extension is granted, the deadline for Trump’s lawyers to file a petition for writ of certiorari in the case would move from Sept. 11 to Nov. 10.
Trump has denied all the allegations made against him by Carroll. She then filed two separate lawsuits against him for defamation after he denied her allegations.
