A federal appeals court has upheld a civil jury’s $83.3 million verdict against President Trump for defaming the journalist E. Jean Carroll.
The same court, the Second Circuit in Manhattan, had previously upheld a $5 million judgment against the president after the first trial (of two) on Carroll’s claims that Trump, (a) in the mid-Nineties, sexually assaulted her in a changing room at a high-end midtown department store, and (b) since 2019, has repeatedly and slanderously accused her of lying about the incident.
