E. Jean Carroll - She Did Not Cave [View all]

Before the law firms folded, E. Jean Carroll was already in court.

The first jury awarded her $5 million after finding Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. The second jury awarded her $83 million after finding he had spent years lying about her to protect himself.

Trump has been waiting on the Supreme Court to take up his appeal of the $5 million verdict. He says the Access Hollywood tape and testimony from some of the other women should not have come in as evidence at trial. The justices have now discussed whether to take the case seven times without saying yes. Seven conferences. Seven times they could have denied or granted his appeal and moved on. This seems to say a lot more about the makeup of the Supreme Court right now than the merits of the case.

Now Trump wants the Supreme Court to save him from the $83 million verdict too.
