"In late August, a New York appeals court threw out a $500 million civil fine against Trump for running a fraudulent business, though the court's judgment of fraud was upheld. And in crypto world, Trump has enriched himself many times over with coin offerings to his faithful that have earned him billions on paper. But he can't win them all. On Monday morning, a federal appeals court upheld the $83 million penalty against him in the successful defamation suit filed by E. Jean Carroll."
"On Monday, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit unanimously ruled against Trump, who attempted to knock down the penalty in the defamation case filed by Carroll, a longtime magazine columnist. The saga began in 2019, when Carroll published a story in New York accusing the president of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the early 1990s. After Trump denied the account and insulted her in public, Carroll filed for defamation."
A federal appeals court upheld an $83 million penalty against Donald Trump in E. Jean Carroll's defamation suit. A three-judge panel on the Second Circuit unanimously rejected Trump's effort to overturn the award and found he did not identify grounds for presidential immunity. Carroll first accused Trump in 2019 of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room; Trump denied and publicly insulted her, prompting defamation claims. A 2023 jury found Trump liable and ordered $5 million; continued insults led to a 2024 jury awarding $83.3 million in additional damages. Carroll said she plans to give the money to causes Trump dislikes.
