The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the $5 million summary judgment against President Donald Trump in a lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll alleging Trump raped her. The court claimed, “We conclude that Mr. Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings. Further, he has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial.”

Excerpt:
President Donald Trump’s attempt to stop $5 million judgment hit a wall on Monday.
A federal appeals court upheld the jury’s 2023 ruling against him in E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit.
The court found no errors in the trial that held President Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Carroll’s allegations date back to the ’90s when she says he assaulted her in a department store dressing room.
You know, the same exact plot from an episode of Law & Order SVU.
A jury decided Trump was liable for battery and defamation but stopped short of the rape claim, handing Carroll a $5M win.
And so the court rejected Trump’s appeal just weeks before Jan. 20th.
