- A federal appeals court refused to rehear President Trump's challenge to a $5 million civil judgment.
- This judgment stemmed from a 2023 jury verdict finding Trump liable for battery and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll relating to incidents in the 1990s.
- The court upheld the damage award despite a dissenting opinion arguing for evidence of Trump's belief that the lawsuit was politically motivated.
- Trump is concurrently appealing a separate $83 million defamation award granted to Carroll.
E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today’s decision. Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation.— Roberta Kaplan, E. Jean Carroll's attorney, in a statement responding to the appeals court's decision.
