Trump’s Appeal Rejected: $5 Million Defamation Verdict for E. Jean Carroll Upheld

Credited from: FORBES

  • A federal appeals court has upheld a $5 million civil verdict against Trump for defaming and sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.
  • The court declared that Trump's appeal did not show that the district court made errors in its ruling and denied him a new trial.
  • Trump's legal team argued that the court admitted "inflammatory" evidence, including the controversial 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape.
  • Testimonies from two women claiming similar experiences were also permitted, contributing to the jury's decision.
  • The ruling follows a May 2023 jury verdict with Trump ordered to pay $5 million in damages: $2 million for sexual abuse and $3 million for defamation.
