Court rejects Trump's presidential immunity argument
Carroll's separate $5 million verdict upheld in June
Trump denied writer's rape accusation
NEW YORK, Sept 8 (Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Monday refused to throw out an $83.3 million jury verdict against U.S. President Donald Trump for damaging the reputation of the writer E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when he denied her rape claim.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan rejected Trump's argument that the January 2024 verdict should be overturned because he deserved presidential immunity from Carroll's lawsuit.
