US EditionTrump loses appeal of $5 million E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse, defamation verdict
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – Donald Trump failed to overturn a $5 million sexual abuse and defamation verdict in favor of E. Jean Carroll after a 2025 appeal ruling by U.S. courts.
- On Thursday, a federal appellate panel in New York affirmed a jury’s decision that held President Donald Trump responsible for sexually assaulting and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll, resulting in an order for him to pay $5 million in damages.
- The verdict followed Carroll's 2019 accusation that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s at the Bergdorf Goodman store in New York and his denial, which led to the defamation claim resolved in January 2024.
- Trump challenged the May 2023 jury decision from a federal court in Manhattan, but the appeals panel overseeing the case found he did not demonstrate any trial mistakes significant enough to justify a new trial.
- The appeals panel stated that he failed to demonstrate that any alleged mistake, whether individually or combined, had an impact on his significant legal rights sufficient to justify ordering a new trial.
- The ruling confirms Trump’s liability for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll, requires him to pay $5 million, and suggests his appeals are unlikely to succeed.
