In a recent development, a US appeals court dismissed Donald Trump’s appeal against a defamation judgment. The court has affirmed the jury’s decision, obligating Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million. Trump had argued that he should not have to pay the amount, citing a Supreme Court ruling regarding presidential immunity. His lawyers sought a new trial. The case centers around Carroll’s claim that Trump sexually assaulted her in 1996 at a Manhattan department store, followed by his sustained attacks on her via social media. This lawsuit follows a previous trial where Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and ordered to pay $5 million.
