US appeals court won't reconsider Trump's $5 million loss to E. Jean Carroll

  • A split panel of the federal appellate court in New York City upheld a $5 million jury verdict against Donald Trump for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll in May 2023.
  • The verdict followed Carroll's 1990s allegation that Trump attacked her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and his denials, including objections over jurors reviewing the 2005 Access Hollywood video.
  • The case featured Trump’s statement on Truth Social from October 2022, in which he rejected Carroll’s accusations, along with other allegations from women such as Jessica Leeds and Natasha Stoynoff, which jurors treated as part of the inflammatory evidence.
  • Two judges appointed by Trump dissented from the December 30, 2024 ruling not to rehear the case, criticizing the panel for sanctioning "striking departures" from legal precedent to uphold the verdict.
  • Trump intends to petition the U.S. Supreme Court to consider his appeal, but the Court is not obligated to accept the case, making this his final chance to seek a reversal of the ruling.
