Trump Seeks Pause in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case While Preparing Supreme Court Appeal

Former President  has asked a federal appeals court in New York to temporarily pause its recent ruling rejecting his challenge to writer defamation lawsuit as he prepares to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The request marks the latest development in a long-running legal battle between Trump and Carroll, who accused the former president of sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store during the 1990s. Trump has repeatedly denied the allegation.
