President-elect Donald Trump has requested a federal appeals court to reconsider its decision regarding the $5 million verdict awarded to columnist E. Jean Carroll. The jury found Trump guilty of sexually abusing and defaming Carroll.
Trump's legal team has urged the panel of three judges to either rehear arguments or allow a review by all judges on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. They argue that the panel misinterpreted the law and that their ruling contradicts other federal appellate decisions and the US Supreme Court.
