Federal court upholds $88.3 million defamation verdict against Trump in Carroll case.

A federal appeals court upheld an $83.3 million defamation judgment against former President Donald Trump for his comments denying E. Jean Carroll's sexual assault allegations. The court rejected Trump's claims for presidential immunity and deemed the damages fair. Carroll, a former magazine columnist, accused Trump of assaulting her in the 1990s; Trump denied the claims and called her a liar. The ruling also upheld a separate $5 million verdict for defamation and sexual assault.
