A federal appeals court has upheld a $5 million verdict awarded to E Jean Carroll against Donald Trump for sexual abuse and defamation. The ruling, from the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals, stems from a 1996 incident and a 2022 social media post where Trump denied the allegations. Carroll was awarded damages for sexual assault and defamation, with Trump appealing another $83.3 million verdict related to his denials. Despite these legal challenges, Trump recently won a new four-year term as president.
