Too busy? Trump's unusual Supreme Court push to

dismiss E. Jean Carroll case

In appealing a $5 million verdict, the president's lawyers have

called Trump's self-defense "deeply damaging" to the country.

WASHINGTON — The president's lawyers have offered

practical arguments in their legal arguments as they argue why

the Supreme Court should overturn the $5 million verdict that 

President Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed author

E. Jean Carroll.

He's busy.

"In the midst of a historic presidency, for President Trump to

divert attention from his singular and unique responsibility as

chief executive to continue to fight decades of false

accusations and countless wrongs across this baseless case is

deeply damaging to the fabric of our republic," his lawyers

wrote in their final filing before the high court decided to

hear Trump's appeal earlier this month.

"This mistreatment of a president cannot be allowed to continue."
