A federal appeals court upheld a $83.3 million jury verdict against Donald Trump for defaming E. Jean Carroll. The court rejected Trump's appeal, arguing he failed to provide grounds for reconsidering presidential immunity. This follows a separate $5 million verdict against Trump in a second case brought by Carroll. Both cases stemmed from Trump's denial of Carroll's accusations of rape and subsequent defamation. Trump's lawyers plan to appeal to the Supreme Court.
