President Donald Trump has lost another appeal on appeal in his ongoing battle to recover an $83.3 million defamation judgment after denying sexually assaulting New York author E. Jean Carroll.
ニューヨークに本拠を置く連邦控訴裁判所は、裁判官3人からなる委員会がこの訴訟を審理し、9月に8,330万ドルの判決を支持した後、すべての裁判官に控訴を審理させるというトランプ大統領の要請を拒否した。 This raises the possibility that President Trump will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The development is the latest in an ongoing legal battle between Trump and Carroll that dates back to 2019 and includes two civil lawsuits.
After that verdict, a separate New York federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in 2024 on defamation charges for Trump’s two long-term denials when he first went public with his claims in 2019. This is a decision that the Grand Court of Appeals decided not to review on April 29th.
The move means President Trump could appeal the $83.3 million judgment to the Supreme Court.
“The American people stand with President Trump and demand an immediate end to the illegal and radical weaponization of our nation’s justice system and an immediate dissolution of all witch hunts,” the spokesperson said. He also called Carroll’s claims “a fabrication” and “false allegations.”
Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement that her team was “pleased” with the decision.
Mr. Trump posted bail of approximately $92 million in 2024 to prevent Mr. Carroll from recouping $83.3 million in property pursuits before his appeal is concluded.
