A federal judge rejected Trump's request for a new trial after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan also dismissed Trump's arguments for reducing damages to less than $1 million.
By Jonathan Stempel
Kaplan said the unanimous May 9 verdict was "almost entirely in favor of Ms. Carroll," and neither a "seriously erroneous result" nor a "miscarriage of justice." Carroll is also pursuing a $10 million defamation lawsuit against Trump over comments he made in the White House in June 2019, after she first accused him of forcing himself upon her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store.
"The proof convincingly established, and the jury implicitly found, that Mr. Trump deliberately and forcibly penetrated Ms. Carroll's vagina with his fingers, causing immediate pain and long lasting emotional and psychological harm," the judge wrote. Carroll filed her first lawsuit in November 2019. She amended it after Trump disparaged her in a CNN town hall one day after the $5 million verdict, calling her account "fake" and her a "whack job."
