US EditionTrump loses bid to overturn $83.3 million judgment in E. Jean Carroll defamation case
The appeals court affirmed the $83.3 million award, citing Trump's reckless disregard for the truth and ongoing defamation over five years, including $65 million in punitive damages.
- A federal appeals court on September 8, 2024, upheld a $83.3 million verdict against Donald Trump for defaming E. Jean Carroll in Manhattan court.
- The case stems from Carroll's 2019 memoir accusing Trump of sexually assaulting her in a 1996 Bergdorf Goodman dressing room, which Trump repeatedly denied.
- A jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in 2023, awarding Carroll $5 million for damages while rejecting rape liability in the trial held during his 2024 presidential run.
- The appeals court ruled the $83.3 million award reasonable due to Trump's prolonged attacks on Carroll, including $65 million punitive damages, citing the conduct as remarkably reprehensible.
- The ruling adds to Trump's legal challenges, rejecting his immunity argument and underscoring ongoing disputes as Trump frames the lawsuit as a political smear.
