US Court of Appeals decides that an adjudicated rapist defaming the woman he assaulted isn't subject to "immunity."

[Miles Archer]

The US Court of Appeals has upheld E. Jean Carroll's $88.3 million defamation verdict against President Donald Trump, Lawfare's Roger Parloff cited on X.

Carroll successfully sued Trump for defamation in 2024 after he claimed her allegations of sexual assault were false and that she was lying. He was found liable of sexual abuse in a separate civil case.

It was the second defamation trial — the first, in 2023, resulted in $5 million in damages being awarded against Trump.

In a 70-page unanimous ruling the panel rejected Trump's attempts to claim presidential immunity protected him from the finding of liability.

3. Oh, he'll NEVER pay her, REGARDLESS of what the Federalist Society (formerly Supreme) Court decides.

The BEST E Jean Carroll will EVER get is that judgement, standing. He'll ignore it, he'll complain and tell people to shut up if they ever ask him about it, which no one will ever do, because he's trained the media well. NO REPORTER would EVER "lose access" over asking him something that was blindingly obvious.
