Former President Donald Trump's legal team is pushing for a new trial in the defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. The lawyers argue that Trump deserves a fresh opportunity to explain his actions and statements regarding Carroll's sex abuse claims against him.
The case stems from Carroll's allegations that Trump sexually abused her in 1996 and defamed her in 2019 after she went public with her story. Two separate juries have already ruled in Carroll's favor, awarding her a total of $88.3 million in damages.
