Judge Upholds $83 Million E. Jean Carroll Defamation Verdict Against Trump
Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
  • A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

  • In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

  • Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

  • In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.

Quick Glance: Review: A Fresh Take on ‘The Great Gatsby’ with Humor and Romance
  • This Broadway musical adaptation presents the Jazz Age in a lively manner, but overlooks the tragic essence of Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel.

  • Portraying Jay Gatsby as a self-made enigma and exceptional host in West Egg, Long Island, reveals his insecurities and the constant struggle to maintain the facade of his wealthy life.

  • The production excels in comedy, romance, and impressive dance numbers, complemented by striking costumes and visual effects.

  • While offering plenty of fun and visual splendor, the adaptation falls short in fully capturing the deep tragedy of the 1925 novel, resulting in an overall underwhelming experience.
