US President Donald Trump on Monday asked the Supreme Court to review the $5 million civil case that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. A federal appeals court had affirmed the jury’s verdict and judgment against Trump last year, ruling that the trial judge made no errors warranting a new trial. This latest move follows Trump's unsuccessful effort in June to have the appeal reviewed by the full bench of judges.

This move effectively clears Boeing of a criminal charge it had previously agreed to plead guilty to, stemming from accusations of violating a crash-related settlement.
