A federal appeals court has upheld a $5 million verdict in favor of E Jean Carroll against Donald Trump, after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the former Elle magazine columnist. The case centers on incidents dated back to 1996, with jurors awarding Carroll $2.02 million for sexual assault and $2.98 million for defamation. Trump’s appeals argue that testimony from other accusers should have been excluded and questions the relevance of a controversial video. Carroll’s legal battles continue, despite Trump’s recent election as president.
