Donald Trump's push for a new trial in the civil case in which a Manhattan jury last month found the former U.S. president had sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll is 'magical thinking,' Carroll's lawyers said on Thursday.
. Trump said the damages were excessive because the jury did not find Carroll was raped and because the alleged conduct did not cause her a diagnosed mental injury.
They pointed to a psychologist's testimony at trial that Carroll had some symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Carroll's lawsuit, filed in 2022, said Trump raped her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s, and defamed her by denying it happened. Trump has called Carroll's claims a "hoax."
