Meanwhile in the E Jean Carroll case

In the previous trial, a federal jury determined that Trump sexually abused Carroll in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s, holding him liable under New York's Adult Survivors Act. The jurors also unanimously found that Trump defamed Carroll by falsely denying her accusations. Carroll's remaining lawsuit relates to Trump's denials during his presidency, and the reckoning over it has been delayed by appeals over whether he had immunity over statements he made to reporters while still in office.

In light of the first verdict, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan found that Trump's liability already has been established, and the second jury only must determine additional damages.

In a single-page order, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit declined to rehear Trump's case before the full 13-judge bench, a maneuver known as an en banc appeal. No active judge from the appellate court called for a vote on the matter, according to the ruling.

That leaves the Supreme Court as the final stop if Trump wants to pursue his appeal any further, a move the former president in December signaled he may make.

May?

UPDATE 01:13 pm:  Apparently, Trump refused to abide by the conditions the Judge put on him being able to speak.
