Trump’s lawyers say the jury’s US$2 million award for the sexual abuse portion of the verdict is “excessive”. Read more at straitstimes.com.
NEW YORK - Donald Trump on Thursday asked for a new trial in the civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll, in which a jury in Manhattan last monthand awarded her US$5 million in damages.
Ms Carroll’s lawsuit, filed in 2022, said Trump raped her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York in the mid-1990s, and defamed her by denying it happened. Trump has called Ms Carroll’s claims a “hoax.”The trial also featured testimony from two women who alleged Trump assaulted them many years ago under similar circumstances, as well as taped deposition testimony by Trump in which he denies ever meeting Ms Carroll.
Ms Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, filed a separate lawsuit in November 2019 for defamation only. That case has been bogged down in appeals over whether Trump was immune from being sued because he had been president when he spoke. Ms Carroll in May sought to amend the first lawsuit with a claim for US$10 million in additional damages over Trump’s comments on CNN after the verdict, where he called the case a “complete con job.”
