Appeals Court Upholds $5M Judgment Against TrumpThe court rejected Trump's bid to overturn a 2023 ruling holding him liable for assault and defamation from the 1990s.
- 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.

- Donald Trump is appealing a jury ruling that ordered him to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation.
- His legal team cites a recent Supreme Court ruling that expanded presidential immunity protections.
- The lawsuit stems from Carroll’s allegations of sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamatory statements by Trump.
- The case is scheduled for a federal appeals hearing on June 11, 2024, where Trump’s lawyers will argue immunity should block the payout.
If there were ever a case where immunity does not shield a President's speech, this one is it.— Roberta Kaplan, attorney for E. Jean Carroll, in her appeal brief.
