Trump Challenges $83 Million E. Jean Carroll Judgment Amid Legal Battles
A federal appeals court is reviewing whether Donald Trump must pay nearly $90 million to E. Jean Carroll for defamation, after a jury initially awarded her that amount. Trump argues he has presidential immunity and that the case should be dismissed, but the case continues in the appeals process, with the final decision pending. The judgment includes interest, and Trump has posted bond to cover potential damages. The case stems from Carroll's allegations of sexual assault and subsequent defamation by Trump.
