Jean Carroll and denied his request for a new trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump challenged the $5 million civil verdict alleging the trial judge made numerous errors, including allowing testimony of two other women who claimed Trump sexually assaulted them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The appeals court concluded the trial judge didn\u2019t abuse his discretion in ruling on evidence. Even if he made any errors, they said, given the strength of Carroll\u2019s case, they are not persuaded Trump\u2019s rights were affected to warrant a new trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth E. Jean Carroll and I are gratified by today\u2019s decision. We thank the Second Circuit for its careful consideration of the parties\u2019 arguments,\u201d said Roberta Kaplan, Carroll\u2019s attorney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A separate jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million after finding Trump defamed her by denying the sexual abuse. Trump has also appealed that verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carroll alleged Trump raped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store and then defamed her when he denied her claim, said she wasn\u2019t his type and suggested she made up the story to boost sales of her book. Trump denied all wrongdoing. He does not face any jail time as a result of the civil verdict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the jury found that Trump sexually abused her, sufficient to hold him liable for battery, the jury did not find that Carroll proved he raped her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carroll filed the lawsuit last year under the \u201cNew York State Adult Survivors Act,\u201d a state bill which opened a look-back window for sexual assault allegations like Carroll\u2019s with long-expired statutes of limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven Cheung \u2013 Trump\u2019s top spokesman and incoming White House communications director \u2013 said more appeals are coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe American People have re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate, and they demand an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and a swift dismissal of all of the Witch Hunts, including the Democrat-funded Carroll Hoax, which will continue to be appealed. We look forward to uniting our country in the new administration as President Trump makes America great again,\u201d Cheung said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal appeals court upheld the jury\u2019s verdict finding Donald Trump sexually abused writer E.
