Trump signals intent to appeal verdict in E. Jean Carroll case
Former PresidentDonald Trumphas signaled his intent to appeal the verdict in the civil lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, according to a court filing Thursday.
Trump filed a notice of appeal, a precursor to a formal appeal to come with the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Trump was found liable forbattery and defamationand ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages after a jury decided he sexually abused the former Elle magazine columnist and then defamed her.
Carroll, whobrought the lawsuitin November, alleged that Trump defamed her in his 2022Truth Social postby calling her allegations "a Hoax and a lie" and saying "This woman is not my type!" when he denied her claim that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.
Carroll added a charge of battery under a recently adopted New York law that allows adult survivors of sexual abuse to sue their alleged attacker regardless of the statute of limitations. Trump has denied all allegations that he raped Carroll or defamed her.
Trump's attorney, Joe Tacopina, previously signaled his intent to appeal on grounds related to evidence and judicial fairness.
