A federal appeals court has upheld the jury's verdict that found Donald Trump sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll, rejecting his request for a new trial. The court ruled that the trial judge's decisions regarding evidence were appropriate, reinforcing the $5 million civil verdict against Trump.
The ruling stems from Carroll's allegations of assault in a New York department store, and while the jury found Trump liable for battery, they did not conclude he raped her. Trump's spokesperson stated that further appeals are forthcoming, framing the case as a politically motivated attack.
