The federal judge who presided over the jury trial that resulted in an $83 million award to Carroll for her defamation claims against former President Donald Trump said Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2024, that his rejection of his lawyer&rsquo;s unusual midtrial mistrial request was not a close call. (AP Photo\/Yuki Iwamura, File)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In May 2023, a New York jury awarded Carroll $5 million after finding that Trump sexually abused her in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s and defamed her in 2022 by denying her allegations. Carroll later won an additional $83 million in damages for defamatory statements he made in 2019 when denying her allegations of sexual abuse. Trump has appealed both verdicts.<\/p>\n<p>The new petition argues that the 2023 trial was tainted by improper evidence, including testimony from two other women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct and excerpts from the <em>Access Hollywood<\/em> tape in which Trump is heard describing unwanted advances. Trump&rsquo;s lawyers said the evidence improperly influenced the jury and could set a damaging precedent if allowed in future trials.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;To have any chance of persuading a jury, Carroll&rsquo;s implausible, unsubstantiated allegations had to be &mdash; and repeatedly were &mdash; propped up by the erroneous admission of highly inflammatory propensity evidence,&rdquo; Trump&rsquo;s attorneys Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, and D. John Sauer, who are headed into work under his forthcoming Justice Department, wrote in the filing.<\/p>\n<p>Defense lawyers also argued the trial court&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">decisions risk unjust verdicts based<\/a> on &ldquo;passion and prejudice instead of the law and evidence.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carroll&rsquo;s civil cases against Trump coincide with a separate civil case Trump is fighting on appeal in the Empire State after a state court judge ordered him last year to pay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3222587\/appeals-determine-donald-trump-pays-500-million-civil-judgments-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">upward of $500 million<\/a> for inflating the value of his assets, an action New York Attorney General Letitia James said was part of an effort to gain more favorable loans and insurance premiums.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump&rsquo;s bid for a rehearing of the $5 million defamation verdict falters, his final option would be to seek review from the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1924092\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1924092\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump requests appeals court to review $5 million Carroll verdict<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2633,"featured_media":2390180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/AP24038814639909-1024x592.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32324,33073,3634],"class_list":["post-2390179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-appeals-court","tag-e-jean-carroll","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/AP24038814639909-1024x592.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2633"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2390179"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2390183,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390179\/revisions\/2390183"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2390180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2390179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2390179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2390179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
