Appeals Court Won’t Let Justice Department Step in for Trump in E. Jean Carroll’s $83M Verdict

  • A federal appeals court on Wednesday denied the Justice Department's request to substitute itself for Donald Trump in E. Jean Carroll's $83 million defamation case.
  • The case originated in 2019 after Carroll sued Trump for defamation following his denial of her 1990s sexual assault allegation in a New York department store.
  • Carroll won two verdicts: a $5 million judgment in 2023 for sexual abuse liability and an $83.3 million defamation award in early 2024, both upheld by appeals courts despite Trump's ongoing appeals.
  • Carroll characterized the court transcripts as exceptionally humorous, drawing a comparison to the satirical wit found in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, and intends to allocate the $83.3 million award to support initiatives that oppose Trump.
  • The ruling increases pressure on Trump to pay the judgments once all appeals conclude and underscores persistent legal challenges regarding his defamation liability.
