Donald Trump to Appeal $5 Million Judgment in E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit

A nine-member jury on Tuesday found Trump liable for sexual battery and defaming Carroll and granted her an award of $5 million in damages. The jury awarded Carroll $2 million in damages for the sexual battery claim and $3 million for defamation.

On Thursday afternoon, Trump’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, formally starting the appeal process after Trump previously indicated he would appeal the judgment.

The notice of appeal comes one day after Trump called Carroll a “whack job” and denied her accusations once again during a CNN town hall event.

During the town hall event, Trump also revealed that the judge in Carroll’s case would not allow his attorneys to enter several things into evidence, including that Carroll’s cat was named “vagina.”
