President Donald Trump must pay $83.3 million to E Jean Carroll after appeals court dismisses his presidential immunity claims in defamation case Monday.
President Donald Trump is still facing a $83.3 million payment to writer E Jean Carroll after a federal appeals court rejected his challenge of a defamation verdict against him Monday.
The ruling from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholds a lower court decision finding that Trump did, in fact, defame Carroll. Trump’s lawyers argued his comments about Carroll were protected by presidential immunity, and that the verdict in the case was unjust. The three-judge panel rejected both of those claims.
«We conclude that Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity.
