"The record in this case supports the district court's determination that the 'the degree of reprehensibility' of Mr. Trump's conduct was remarkably high, perhaps unprecedented,"
"The 2nd Circuit cited "ample evidence" that Trump was "recklessly indifferent to Carroll's health and safety.""
"The Supreme Court decision in Trump v. United States "simply reaffirmed long-established principles,""
A federal appeals court affirmed an $83.3 million defamation verdict against President Donald Trump for denying E. Jean Carroll's claim that he sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Trump is not protected by presidential immunity, noting the Supreme Court decision in Trump v. United States reaffirmed immunity principles for core official acts but did not alter waiver law. The court found Trump waived immunity by not raising it at trial, upheld $65 million in punitive damages, and found his conduct highly reprehensible and recklessly indifferent to Carroll's health and safety.
