Former President Donald Trump has appealed a recent ruling that dismissed his defamation claim against writer E. Jean Carroll. His lawyers filed a notice of appeal on Aug. 10.

President Trump accused the writer of defaming him when she accused him of rape in a media interview after a jury in a civil case she filed against him didn’t find him liable for rape.
