US EditionTrump loses bid to overturn $83.3 million judgment in E. Jean Carroll defamation case
The 2nd Circuit Court affirmed that President Trump's repeated defamatory statements caused significant harm, awarding $83.3 million including $65 million in punitive damages for malice and emotional injury.
- On Monday, a federal appeals court in Manhattan refused to overturn the $83.3 million award against President Donald Trump for defaming E. Jean Carroll, affirming the jury's damages as reasonable.
- After Carroll's 2019 allegation, she claims Trump assaulted her around 1996 at Bergdorf Goodman, leading to her 2023 $5 million verdict.
- The appeals court noted the $83.3 million award included $65 million in punitive damages and $18.3 million for emotional and reputational harm, citing Trump's "extraordinary and unprecedented" attacks and the case's egregious facts.
- Trump's legal team signaled they may ask the Supreme Court to review the verdict, while Roberta Kaplan welcomed the ruling and urged an end to the appeals process after Monday's decision.
- By rejecting Trump's immunity claim, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held he 'failed to identify any grounds' to reconsider last year's Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity.
