A federal appeals court upheld the $83 million defamation verdict against Donald Trump in E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit. The court rejected Trump's appeal, finding his arguments regarding presidential immunity and the damages award unfounded. The ruling stems from Trump's repeated defamatory statements about Carroll following her allegations of sexual assault. Trump's legal team argued the verdict was a miscarriage of justice, while Carroll's lawyers maintained that the president is not above the law. Trump is appealing a separate $5 million verdict to the Supreme Court.
