Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a press conference at Trump Tower in New York City, U.S., September 6, 2024.
A federal appeals court in New York on Thursday officially affirmed the jury verdict that found President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll, starting the clock for Trump to ask the Supreme Court to overturn the decision and its order that he pay her $5 million in damages.
The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued the mandate affirming the verdict weeks after that same court rejected a bid by Trump to have the full judicial lineup in the circuit rehear his appeal of the 2023 Manhattan federal court jury verdict.
A three-judge panel of the circuit in December ruled against Trump's appeal of the jury verdict.
Trump now has 90 days to ask the Supreme Court to hear his appeal. There is no automatic right to appeal to the Supreme Court.

Again. Dude just loves having courts confirm over and over that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll.

I still can't believe that he tried to have the US government pay for this before the courts denied it. Maga supports Trump's sexual assault so much they would support tax payer dollars paying off his rape fine if the courts allowed it.
