"Trump Seeks New Trial in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case Amid Legal Setbacks"

Former President Donald Trump is seeking a new trial in the defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll, arguing that the judge improperly restricted his testimony. Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for denying her allegation of sexual abuse, but his defense argues that the court's limitations on his testimony were prejudicial and influenced the jury's verdict. They also seek a reduction in the damage award, claiming it exceeds permissible bounds.
