Court upholds $83M judgment against Trump for defaming E. Jean CarrollPresident Donald Trump last year was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, for defaming her in 2019 when he denied sexually abusing her in the 1990s.

A federal appeals court in New York on Wednesday rejected President Donald Trump's request to rehear his challenges to the writer E. Jean Carroll's successful defamation claims.

A jury awarded Carroll $83 million in damages in 2024 after she successfully argued that Trump defamed her with comments he made disputing her claim he sexually abused her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

The jury found that, as a result of the comments, Carroll was harassed and humiliated, subjected to death threats, and feared for her physical safety for years.
