Appeals Court Upholds $83.3 Million Defamation Award Against Trump in E. Jean Carroll Case
A federal appeals court in New York has affirmed the defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll, upholding the significant $83.3 million award against Donald Trump. The ruling comes after Trump denied Carroll’s claim that he raped her.
A panel of judges explicitly rejected the defense’s argument that the former president is shielded by the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling from last year. This decision follows a separate 2023 case where the same appeals court awarded Carroll $5 million, finding Trump liable for defamation and sexual abuse.
