Trump files notice to appeal of E. Jean Carroll verdict

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump on Thursday filed a notice to appeal the verdict of a federal civil trial that found him liable for sexual battery and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll.

Carroll was awarded $5 million in damages by the jury on Tuesday.

The jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, but not rape, and also found that he defamed Carroll in a case stemming from an incident in the mid-1990s.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
