These defamation charges were postponed by Judge Lewis Kaplan on 3/30/23. Carroll's first defamation lawsuit against Trump was filed in November 2019. But that case has been put on hold while Trump argues that a federal law protects him from being sued for defamation for comments he made while president. And was amended to Trump’s comments made on 5/10/23.

Trump MUST pay #83.3 million to Carroll. 4/25/24 Update: An appeals judge ruled against Trump, refusing to grant him a new trial. This follows a ruling from a jury that is forcing Trump to pay author E. Jean Carroll over $80 million for defamation. 6/13/25 Update: 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals denied en banc hearing.

9/6/24 Update: Attorneys for Trump will appear before a federal appeals panel on Friday, 9/6/24 to argue that a $5 million judgment finding him liable for sexually abusing & defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll was "unjust" & should be thrown out. In his appeal of the first judgment, which Trump's attorneys are arguing Friday, they claimed the judge issued "flawed & prejudicial evidentiary rulings."
9/6/24 Update: Trump was in a Manhattan federal court Friday as his lawyers sought to overturn a $5 million jury verdict finding him liable of sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll. Mr Trump is here today,” Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, told the court during Friday’s hearing. “He was given every opportunity to take the stand & rebut all this evidence. He did not put on a single witness.” Trump’s lawyers have argued the jury’s verdict should be tossed because evidence was allowed at trial that should have been excluded, while other evidence was excluded that should have been permitted. They argued, too, that Trump couldn’t get a fair trial in the Big Apple. See post #443, page 23 for Court Oral Arguments on Utube.
12/31/24 Update: A federal appeals court yesterday upheld a jury verdict ordering Trump to pay $5 million for sexually abusing & defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump was ordered to pay $2 million for sexual abuse & another $3 million for defaming Carroll, a former advice columnist for Elle magazine. Trump denied the allegations & appealed the verdict on the grounds that two other women who said Trump had sexually assaulted them too should not have been allowed to testify. The three-judge panel of the Second US Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed. Carroll was also awarded $83 million by another jury in a separate case she brought against Trump. He has appealed that verdict & Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, said they would lodge a further appeal against the $5 million damages awarded in the sexual abuse & defamation case.
6/2/25 Update: A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a jury’s finding in a civil case that Trump sexually abused a columnist in an upscale department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a written opinion upholding the $5 million award that the Manhattan jury granted to E. Jean Carroll for defamation & sexual abuse. Trump is asking a federal appeals court to reconsider overturning a jury's verdict that found he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s and awarded her $5 million in damages. After the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit determined last month that Trump failed to prove he deserved a new trial, lawyers for Trump on Tuesday requested an en banc hearing, in which the full court would hear the case rather than a select panel. Trump's request for an en banc hearing is his final appellate option before possibly turning to the Supreme Court.
6/13/25 Docket update: The full bench of the NY-based 2nd Circuit Court of appeals [en banc hearing] has *denied* Trump's appeal of E. Jean Carroll's win against him in court. Supreme Court would be next/last stop. See post #943, page 48 for document.
