A federal appeals court upheld on Monday the $5 million judgement favoring writer E. Jean Carroll in the sexual abuse and defamation case against President-elect Donald Trump.
The court argued that Trump's defense did not manage to prove that the "district court erred in any of the challenged rulings." "Further, he has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected is substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial."
