President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to change a decision in a case against writer E. Jean Carroll. A jury said Trump defamed Carroll and she should get $83 million. Trump's lawyers say he cannot be held responsible because he was president at the time.

The outlets frame the story as a legal case involving a president's immunity and a defamation verdict. Some outlets focus on the amount of the verdict, while others emphasize the allegations of sexual assault.
