Former President Trump's legal team requests a new trial in the E. Jean Carroll case, citing errors by Judge Lewis Kaplan affecting the verdict.
Former President Donald Trump's legal team has requested a new trial in the E. Jean Carroll case, alleging that errors by Judge Lewis Kaplan influenced the outcome. Trump's lawyers argue that the judge's exclusion of Trump's testimony about his own state of mind and the erroneous jury instruction on the definition of common-law malice led to a tainted verdict. In January, a jury ruled that Trump must pay Carroll over $83 million for defaming her when he denied allegations of sexual assault. Trump maintains his innocence and has called the case a "Biden Directed Witch Hunt."
