Trump's Legal Team Seeks New Trial in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case

Donald Trump's lawyers are seeking a new trial and the opportunity for Trump to explain his comments about writer E. Jean Carroll's sex abuse claims against him, for which she was awarded $83.3 million in January. They argue that the court's limitation of Trump's testimony influenced the jury's verdict. Carroll testified that Trump's comments ruined her career and led to threats. The lawyers claim that Trump had compelling reasons to publicly deny Carroll's claims and should have the chance to defend his reputation, protect his family, and presidency.
