Trump's legal team appeals $5M damages award over 1996 assault claim by E. Jean Carroll.

Donald Trump's legal team is appealing a jury verdict that found him liable for sexually assaulting writer E. Jean Carroll in 1996, resulting in a $5 million damages award. They argue that the trial included improper evidence and excluded vital evidence. The appeal will be heard by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, but a ruling is unlikely before the November presidential election. The case also carries significant political implications for Trump.
