A federal appeals court has upheld the jury's verdict in the case of writer E. Jean Carroll against former President Donald Trump. The court denied Trump's request for a new trial after challenging the $5 million civil verdict. Trump alleged that the trial judge made errors, including allowing testimony from two other women who claimed sexual assault by Trump.
The appeals court determined that the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in ruling on the evidence presented. Despite any potential errors, the court stated that given the strength of Carroll's case, Trump's rights were not affected enough to warrant a new trial.
