President Donald Trump’s lawyers are asking the Supreme Court to overturn an $83.3 million defamation judgment he was ordered to pay to writer E. Jean Carroll, Axios reported on Tuesday.

The U.S. Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Court records showed earlier this month that Carroll ​has collected nearly $5.63 million from Trump. She has won $88.3 million in civil ⁠verdicts against the president in the seven years since he first denied having raped her around ​1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan.

Jurors awarded Carroll $5 million based on a 2022 Trump denial, ​though they did not find that Trump raped her.

A different jury in ​2024 ordered Trump ⁠to pay Carroll $83.3 million, based on his original 2019 denial during his first White House term.

Trump’s latest appeal reported by Axios comes a month after the justices declined to hear his bid to overturn the $5 million verdict that jurors ordered him to pay Carroll.
