A judge has rejected Donald Trump’s bid for a new trial in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation case, keeping him on the hook for $83 million in damages.
E. Jean Carroll departs a Manhattan federal court at the conclusion of her defamation suit against Donald Trump on Jan. 26, 2024 in New York City.after she accused him of sexual assault. Trump’s lawyers appealed the decision — which called for $7.3 million in compensatory damages, $11 million in reputation repair damages, and $65 million in putative damages — and sought a new trial.
The retrial bid was rejected and the $83 million in damages were upheld Thursday by Judge Lewis Kaplan, who wrote in his denial of the Trump team’s appeal , “Contrary to the defendant’s arguments, Ms. Carroll’s compensatory damages were not awarded solely for her emotional distress; they were not for garden variety harms; and they were not excessive. Mr. Trump’s malicious and unceasing attacks on Ms. Carroll were disseminated to more than 100 million people.
“This win, more than any other thing, when we needed it the most — after we lost the rights over our own bodies in many states — we put out our flag in the ground on this one. Women won this one. I think it bodes well for the future.
