Donald Trump's request to reduce the amount of award damages and a new trial on E. Jean Carroll was rejected by a federal court judge in New York on Wednesday.
Donald Trump’s request to reduce the amount of award damages and a new trial on E. Jean Carroll was rejected by a federal court judge in New York on Wednesday.
According to Kaplan, Trump’s claims that the $2 million judgment E.Jean Carroll received for the sexual assault was “excessive” are “completely unpersuasive.” Trump’s attorneys argued to the Judge that the damages award was disproportionate since the decision may have been based on allegations of “groping of Plaintiff’s breasts through clothing or similar conduct, which is a far cry from rape,” among other things.
