A federal judge in New York on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump’s request for a new trial in the defamation and battery case brought against him by E. Jean Carroll, which culminated in jurors ordering him to pay $5 million in damages.

Trump in May was found liable for sexually assaulting the former Elle magazine columnist in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room back in the 1990s, then defaming her in a 2022 Truth Social post, where he dubbed her claims regarding their encounter “a hoax and a lie.”
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in a 59-page decision obtained by Reuters concluded the jurors’ decision was not “a miscarriage of justice” nor a “seriously erroneous result,” as Trump alleged.
