"President Donald Trump is still on the hook for the $83.3 million jury award to writer E. Jean Carroll. On Monday, a three-member federal appeals court panel upheld the award against the president for defaming Carroll after she accused him of sexual assault in the 1990s. Trump was found liable in 2023 of sexually abusing Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. Separately, a jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages for the incident. That decision was upheld on appeal."
"In its decision, the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan found that Trump's claim that the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision also insulated him from liability in the Carroll case didn't hold water writing, Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. Trump verbally attacked Carroll repeatedly, including on social media, after she accused him of the assault."

Trump was found liable in 2023 for sexually abusing Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room, and a separate jury awarded her $5 million in damages for the incident; that award was upheld on appeal. The Second Circuit rejected Trump's argument that a Supreme Court presidential immunity decision insulated him from liability, stating he failed to identify grounds for reconsideration. The jury found Trump acted with malice and awarded punitive damages after repeated verbal attacks on Carroll, including on social media.
