Episode Details

Trump’s $83 million defamation verdict is headed to the Supreme Court as he fights to shield himself from liability using presidential immunity claims — arguing this is the first time a president has been found responsible for conduct while in office. The Justice Department counters by seeking to invoke the Westfall Act, which could make the U.S. government the defendant and erase the judgment, since you can’t sue the government for defamation. The case stems from E. Jean Carroll’s 1990s allegations of sexual assault, which Trump denied and called a book-selling fabrication — leading to a jury award and now a high-stakes legal showdown with national implications.
