Donald Trump has publicly denounced a recent court ruling that found him liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in 1996, claiming the allegations are unfounded and criticizing Carroll's character. His legal team is appealing a $5 million verdict awarded to Carroll, arguing that the inclusion of the 'Access Hollywood' tape in evidence was prejudicial. Trump's attorney insisted that there is no physical evidence or eyewitnesses to support Carroll's claims, while Carroll's lawyer dismissed Trump's defense as inadequate. Carroll has successfully sued Trump twice, with a jury previously awarding her $83.3 million for defamation and emotional distress. As Trump continues to campaign for the presidency, he remains adamant in denying any wrongdoing, while Carroll maintains her position and readiness to pursue further legal actions against him. The ongoing litigation and Trump's appeals are set against the backdrop of an upcoming election, highlighting the intersection of legal battles and political ambitions.
