A federal appeals court in New York has upheld the $5 million verdict against President-elect Donald Trump in the sexual abuse and defamation case involving former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll.
Three judges of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan concluded Monday that Trump failed to demonstrate that the lower district court erred in several of its evidentiary rulings as he claimed in his appeal.
“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,” the court stated.
Trump’s defense team had argued that the testimony of two of his past sexual assault accusers should not have been admitted as part of the case. They also objected to the court hearing a 2005 recording of Trump talking about kissing and grabbing women without first obtaining their consent.
