President Donald Trump lost an appeal Monday with a court ruling that he must pay $83.3 million to columnist E. Jean Carroll.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said the 'jury's damages awards are fair and reasonable' after Carroll won a defamation suit against the president last year.
She had sued Trump over his repeated social media attacks after Carroll accused him of a sexual assault she claimed happened in Bergdorf Goodman's dressing room in 1996.
Trump's lawyers had argued that the Supreme Court's July 2024 decision, which expanded presidential immunity, should apply to this case.
The appeals court said it did not.
