Trump sexual assault case: $83.3 million compensation required

Trump's sexual assault appeal failed, requiring payment of $83.3 million in compensation

On the 8th local time, the US appellate court announced the upholding of the verdict in Carroll v. Trump defamation case, and Trump still needs to pay $83.3 million in compensation.

In 2019, female writer Carol accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, which Trump denied and publicly referred to as a "scam," sparking defamation lawsuits. In January 2024, a federal jury in New York ruled that Trump should pay Carol $83.3 million in compensation for the case. In March of that year, Trump appealed against this huge compensation ruling, and now the US appellate court has upheld the original verdict.
