A New York appeals court has upheld a prior ruling that compels Donald Trump to pay $5 million to Elizabeth Jean Carroll for sexual assault and defamation. The court’s decision stems from Carroll’s accusations of an attack in the 1990s, which she publicly detailed in a 2019 book. This ruling adds to an earlier judgment of $83.3 million for a separate defamation case linked to the same incident, which Trump is also appealing.
