Appeals court upholds $5 million E. Jean Carroll verdict against Trump
A jury handed down the award after finding Trump liable for sexually
abusing and defaming the writer.
A federal appeals court has upheld writer E. Jean Carroll's $5 million
civil judgment against President-elect Donald Trump.
A jury had awarded Carroll the sum in 2023 after finding Trump liable
for sexual abusing her in the 1990s and then defaming her after she
went public with her allegations.
Trump has denied the allegations and appealed the verdict, charging it
was "grossly excessive" and should be tossed because of what he
claimed were unfair rulings from the judge who presided over the
nine-day trial.
A panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed
