Appeals court won't reconsider ruling that Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll $5M in sex abuse case
NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court won't reconsider its ruling upholding a $5 million civil judgment against President Donald Trump in a civil lawsuit alleging he sexually abused a writer in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s. In an 8-2 vote Friday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Trump's petition for the full appellate court to rehear arguments in his challenge to the jury's finding that he sexually abused advice columnist E. Jean Carroll and defamed her with comments he made in October 2022. Carroll testified at a 2023 trial that Trump turned a friendly encounter in spring 1996 into a violent attack after they playfully entered the store's dressing room. A three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld the verdict in December, rejecting Trump's claims that trial Judge Lewis A. Kaplan's decisions spoiled the trial, including allowing two other Trump sexual abuse accusers to testify. The women said Trump committed similar acts against them in the 1970s and in 2005. Trump denied all three women's allegations. In an opinion Friday, four judges voting to reject rehearing wrote: 'Simply re-litigating a case is not an appropriate use' of the process. 'In those rare instances in which a case warrants our collective consideration, it is almost always because it involves a question of exceptional importance,' or a conflict between precedent and the appellate panel's opinion, Judges Myrna Pérez, Eunice C. Lee, Beth Robinson and Sarah A.L. Merriam wrote. All four were appointed by President Joe Biden, Trump's one-time Democratic rival. The two dissenting judges, Trump appointees, Steven J. Menashi and Michael H. Park, wrote that the trial 'consisted of a series of indefensible evidentiary rulings.' 'The result was a jury verdict based on impermissible character evidence and few reliable facts,' they wrote. 'No one can have any confidence that the jury would have returned the same verdict if the normal rules of evidence had been applied.' Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement: 'E. Jean Carroll is very pleased with today's decision.' 'Although President Trump continues to try every possible maneuver to challenge the findings of two separate juries, those efforts have failed. He remains liable for sexual assault and defamation,' said Kaplan, who is not related to the judge. Trump skipped the trial after repeatedly denying the attack ever happened. He briefly testified at a follow-up defamation trial last year that resulted in an $83.3 million award. The second trial resulted from comments then-President Trump made in 2019 after Carroll first made the accusations publicly in a memoir. Kaplan presided over both trials and instructed the second jury to accept the first jury's finding that Trump had sexually abused Carroll. Arguments in that appeal are set for June 24. The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they come forward publicly, as Carroll has done. ___

Police prepare for ‘No Kings' protests
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Thousands of protests against the Trump administration are scheduled to take place around the country this weekend, including in the St. Louis area. The No Kings protests have been planned for more than a month to coincide with the U.S. military parade planned for this weekend. But with anti-ICE protests sparking violence in Los Angeles recently, this movement is getting extra attention. 'I think a lot of people are rightly concerned. They see Gov. Kehoe announcing that we are in a state of emergency. That's alarming but people see what's happening in LA. They're seeing what's happening to immigrants in the country and they're worried,' said Indivisible St. Louis co-lead Laura Gordon. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Protests are scheduled all over the area, including ones at Kiener Plaza, Manchester Road & South Weidman Road, Mid Rivers Mall Dr. and Sue Mandy Dr. in St. Peters. Gordon helped organize one demonstration in Ballwin, where she says thousands are likely to attend. 'From our end, we've already coordinated with police, we have medics on the scene, we have lawyers on the scene. We're also telling people, ''this is peaceful,'' she said. The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) is preparing, too. 'The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will utilize all means necessary to protect our community. The safety of everyone—demonstrators, residents and visitors—remains our top priority,' the department said in its release. Brothers charged in Webster Groves and Eureka car break-ins Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe also activated the Missouri National Guard in anticipation of civil unrest. FOX 2 reached out to the guard for more information on how they will be invloved but has not heard back. 'I absolutely trust the governor here to keep Missourians safe. It's the first duty of government to keep law-abiding citizens safer. I support him and I support law enforcement. We have terrific law enforcement in Missouri,' Senator Josh Hawley said. Gordon said if the guard does show up, she hopes it'll also serve as extra protection for peaceful protesters. 'It's easy to see this as an escalation of violence but at the end of the day, I support our military. I want our veterans to have rights and care,' she said. The Ballwin protest starts at 11:30 a.m. tomorrow. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
