Trump first denied her claim in June 2019, telling a reporter that Carroll was not my type and had concocted the story to sell a book called What Do We Need Men For? a memoir about her life."
"A federal appeals court has refused to throw out an $83.3m jury verdict against US President Donald Trump for damaging the reputation of the writer E Jean Carroll in 2019 when he denied her rape claim. The US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan on Monday rejected Trump's argument that the January 2024 verdict should be overturned because he deserved presidential immunity from Carroll's lawsuit."
A federal appeals court refused to overturn an $83.3 million jury verdict against Donald Trump for defaming E Jean Carroll after he denied her 2019 sexual assault claim. The Second Circuit rejected Trump's presidential immunity argument and said the district court did not err, calling the damages reasonable in light of extraordinary and egregious facts. The award included $18.3 million for emotional and reputational harm and $65 million in punitive damages. The court previously upheld a separate $5 million verdict tied to Trump's repeated statements, and neither the White House nor Trump's personal lawyers immediately commented.
