A federal appeals court on Sept. 8 upheld a civil jury’s finding that President Donald Trump must pay magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in damages for defamation.
“We hold that the district court did not err in any of the challenged rulings and that the jury’s duly rendered damages awards were reasonable in light of the extraordinary and egregious facts of this case,” a panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit said in a per curiam opinion.
