Appeals Court Upholds $5 Million Sexual Abuse Verdict Against President-elect Trump; New Trial Denied
Dec 30, 2024, 03:11 PM
A federal appeals court has upheld a $5 million verdict against President-elect Donald Trump in favor of E. Jean Carroll, confirming the jury's finding that Trump sexually abused and defamed the former magazine columnist. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump's request for a new trial, affirming the initial judgment that he is liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s and later defaming her. Following the court's decision, Trump reposted on his Truth Social platform suggesting legal action against Carroll, asking, 'Should a woman go to jail for falsely accusing a man of rape? Retruth if you want justice for Trump.' The decision deals a blow to Trump's efforts to resolve legal issues before taking office.
