Trump to appeal $5M judgment in E. Jean Carroll case as writer mulls suing ex-president again

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday formally signaled he would appeal the $5 million judgement against him in E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit — as the writer’s attorneys said she’s thinking of suing him again.

Trump, 76, was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll, 79, by a Manhattan federal jury for allegedly assaulting her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room in 1996 and then for his public statements denying and calling her claims a “hoax.”
