Judges deliberating on Trump's E. Jean Carroll appeal
Judges are deliberating on whether the jury that awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million should have been allowed to hear other allegations.
NEW YORK, June 13 (Reuters) - Donald Trump failed to persuade a federal appeals court to reconsider the $5 million verdict won by E. Jean Carroll after a jury found that the U.S. president sexually abused and defamed the former magazine columnist.
A divided 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan on June 13 left intact its Dec. 30, 2024, decision upholding the jury award.
Carroll, now 81, accused Trump of attacking her around 1996 in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, and defaming her in an October 2022 Truth Social post by denying her claim as a hoax.

Jurors decided in May 2023 that Trump had sexually assaulted Carroll, and defamed her by lying. They did not find that Trump raped Carroll, as she had claimed.

In seeking reconsideration, Trump maintained that the trial judge erred in letting jurors review the 2005 "Access Hollywood" video of him bragging about his sexual prowess, and a "pile-on" of inflammatory evidence that he mistreated two other women.
One, businesswoman Jessica Leeds, said Trump groped her on a plane in the late 1970s. The other, former People magazine writer Natasha Stoynoff, said Trump forcibly kissed her at his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2005. Trump has denied their claims.

Trump, who turns 79 on June 14, is separately appealing an $83.3 million jury verdict in January 2024 for defaming Carroll and damaging her reputation in June 2019, when he first denied her claim about the Bergdorf encounter.
The president is arguing in that appeal that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last July providing him substantial criminal immunity shields him from liability in Carroll's civil case.
In his 2019 and 2022 denials of Carroll's accusations, Trump said she was "not my type" and had made up the rape claim to promote her memoir.

'No Kings' demonstrators to gather across Greater Cincinnati in opposition to Trump
A string of protests is planned throughout Greater Cincinnati as part of a nationwide movement opposed to President Donald Trump and his administration. The June 14 "No Kings" protests, organized by activist group Indivisible and its partners, are described as a "nationwide day of defiance." Events are slated to take place in nearly 2,000 communities across the nation to oppose what organizers describe as "corrupt, authoritarian politics." Numerous protests are scheduled to take place in the afternoon locally throughout Greater Cincinnati, including: Cincinnati – University Pavilion (University of Cincinnati): 2618 University Circle, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219. Union Township – Veterans Memorial Park: 906 Clough Pike, 45245. Loveland – Loveland Elementary School: 600 Loveland-Madeira Road, Loveland, Ohio 45140. Mason – Intersection of Mason Montgomery Road and Tylersville Road, 45040. West Chester Township – Intersection of Tylersville Road and Cox Lane, 45069. Hamilton – Intersection of South Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard and High Street, 45011. Middletown – Towne Mall: 3461 Towne Blvd., 45005. Oxford – Uptown Park: intersection of Main Street and High Street, 45056. Falling on Flag Day and Trump's birthday, the day of protest is intended to help counter Trump's planned Washington, D.C. military parade. It also coincides with large-scale protests in Los Angeles, which erupted in response to Trump's immigration policy. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is carrying out a directive from Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. The aggressive crackdown has fueled anger and protests in Los Angeles and across the country, which have led to hundreds of arrests amid occasional violent clashes, vandalism and looting. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on June 8 outside the Butler County Jail to protest the arrest of 19-year-old Honduran immigrant Emerson Colindres, who was detained by ICE agents on June 4 during a routine check-in with immigration officials at the agency's office in Blue Ash. The Enquirer will have reporters covering the protests and will update this story. USA TODAY contributed to this report.

Residents and businesses preparing for Saturday's protests
SCRANTON, LACKAWNNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— With the protests in Los Angeles taking a violent turn, many are left to wonder how the situation escalated so quickly. And with more protests happening nationwide this weekend, could what's happening in LA also happen here in Northeast PA? 28/22 News reporter Avery Nape was in Scranton talking to residents and business owners to see how they are feeling ahead of the protest in the Electric City this weekend. Hundreds of protests will be happening across the country Saturday, including right here on courthouse square in downtown Scranton. It's all part of what organizers are calling the 'No Kings' movement. Public voices opinion on Wilkes-Barre mural While this is a nationwide movement, several protests will be happening right here in NEPA. Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Tunkhannock, and Bloomsburg to name a few. So far more than 200 people have responded on Facebook as attending the protest in Scranton. Organizers describe the movement as a 'national day of defiance' against President Trump and what they call 'attacking civil rights and slashing services.' Residents and business owners I spoke with in Scranton say they are not concerned with the protests though, in fact, they welcome them. 'I think a lot of the talk of violence is overblown and intended to intimidate people and to keep them home, and it should be the opposite,' voiced Scranton resident Mary Murphy. 'When the people come over here, even for protest, but then everybody has to eat. So everybody can spend some money to other stores, you know what I mean,' stated Vito Sparacio, owner, Pizza by Pappas. According to the movement's website the 'No Kings' protests are non-violent events. They say anyone planning to attend should seek to de-escalate any potential confrontations.
