The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a jury's ruling that Donald Trump committed sexual abuse, affirming E. Jean Carroll's $5 million award for defamation and abuse.
Carroll testified the friendly encounter in spring 1996 escalated into violence in a department store dressing room after she and Trump entered playfully.
Trump's lawyers argued the trial judge made errors, including allowing testimony from other women who accused Trump, but the 2nd Circuit rejected these claims.
The court ruled that Trump did not demonstrate any trial errors affected his rights or warranted a new trial, thus upholding the initial judgment.
