President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to overturn his defamation loss to E. Jean Carroll, according to reports.

Axios and The New York Times reported that Trump’s lawyers are seeking to reverse the $83.3 million judgment awarded to Carroll, the columnist who accused him of sexual assault. Trump has denied Carroll’s allegation that he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, but he lost her defamation lawsuit and a subsequent appeal in federal court.

His lawyers are now arguing that he is entitled to presidential immunity because he was president when he made the defamatory comments about Carroll, Axios reported. The filing turns on a broader legal question that could matter beyond this case: how far presidential immunity extends when a president is sued over statements made while in office.

In a court filing cited by The New York Times, Trump’s lawyers said, "This is the first case in our nation's history in which a court has imposed damages liability on a president for his conduct in office." They also argued that the question of presidential immunity is "straightforward on the undisputed factual record," an argument the appeals court rejected, according to the Times.

Trump’s lawyers further contend that allowing the ruling to stand would constitutionally weaken future presidents by exposing them to liability for statements made while in office, Axios reported. The Supreme Court’s decision on whether to take up the case would determine whether the lower-court judgment remains in place or receives another review.

Axios noted that this is the second time in two months the Supreme Court has dealt with Carroll-related litigation. In June, the court declined to hear Trump’s appeal of a separate $5 million verdict. Trump’s team has also asked the Supreme Court to reconsider that judgment, Axios reported.
