Donald Trump to Appeal .3 Million Verdict; Could Take Years

E.J. and Carol awarded $83.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages to E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused him of sexual assault. The verdict came after a jury ruled in favor of Carroll, who filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump for discrediting her allegations.

Trump has vowed to appeal the decision, which could potentially lead to a lengthy legal process. The appeal would go to the Second Circuit, the federal appeals court overseeing Manhattan trials, and could even reach the United States Supreme Court. This means that Trump may not have to pay the amount until all appeals are exhausted, possibly stretching the timeline for years.
