HeadlineSep 09, 2025

A federal appeals court has rejected President Trump’s attempt to overturn his $83.3 million verdict for defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll. In their unanimous opinion, the judges wrote, “The jury’s duly rendered damages awards were reasonable in light of the extraordinary and egregious facts of this case.” This comes as President Trump and his lawyers said that they intend to ask the Supreme Court to review the jury’s $5 million verdict that he sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.
