Legal Experts Unconcerned as Trump's Lawyer Seeks to Overturn E. Jean Carroll Verdict
Former President Donald Trump's attorney is seeking to have the verdict in E. Jean Carroll's defamation trial thrown out, alleging a conflict of interest with the judge, but legal experts believe the argument is unlikely to succeed. The jury recently ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll for defaming her, and Trump's attorney claims the judge displayed preferential treatment towards Carroll's counsel. However, Carroll's attorney denies these allegations, and legal analysts dismiss the argument as baseless, noting that judges often have connections to lawyers. Trump's appeal process is expected to be lengthy, and he may still have to pay the damages while appealing the verdict.
