Donald Trump loses $5 million defamation liability appeal in E. Jean Carroll case
ai generated text
The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a jury's verdict that Trump sexually abused Carroll in a Manhattan department store changing room in the mid-1990s.
We conclude that Mr. Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings.
In each of the three encounters, Mr. Trump engaged in an ordinary conversation with a woman he barely knew, then abruptly lunged at her in a semi-public place and proceeded to kiss and forcefully touch her without her consent. The acts are sufficiently similar to show a pattern.
Further, he has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial.
Both E. Jean Carroll and I are gratified by today's decision. We thank the Second Circuit for its careful consideration of the parties' arguments.
