A federal appeals court upheld an $83.3 million judgment against President Donald Trump for defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit rejected on Monday Trump’s appeal of a January 2024 jury finding related to the president’s 2019 denial of Carroll’s allegation that he raped her at a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room sometime in the mid-1990s. Trump has repeatedly denied that the incident occurred, and his 2019 denials of the allegation led to Carroll filing the first of two defamation lawsuits against him.
