Donald Trump has been denied in his legal challenge against a $5 million damages award for defaming E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual abuse in the 1990s. A divided US appeals court upheld the previous jury's verdict, which found claims of sexual abuse credible. Trump's arguments relied on appeals to presidential immunity and objections to evidence presented during the trial, notably the infamous Access Hollywood tape. He currently faces additional legal actions, including an appeal against another $83 million defamation award to Carroll.
Trump's attempt to overturn a $5m jury award to E. Jean Carroll for defamation has been denied by a US appeals court in New York City.
Carroll was awarded $5m after a jury found that Trump sexually abused her and defamed her, risking his own immunity claims in the process.
