Trump seeks reduced damages or retrial in E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse case.

Former President Donald Trump is seeking a new trial or reduced damages in the civil case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual abuse and defamation. Trump's attorneys argue that the $5 million verdict was "grossly excessive" and that a $2 million portion of the award was excessive because the jury did not find him liable for rape. Carroll's attorneys argue that Trump is trying to argue she doesn't "deserve" the damages awarded to her, "even if he did those things."
