Trump's legal team argues that the amount originally awarded to writer E. Jean Carroll was excessive.
A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump's request for a new trial in the civil case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
The response comes after Trump's legal team requested Kaplan either decrease the jury's award to less than $1 million or order a new trial to dispute the damages. They argued that the amount was excessive due to the fact that the jury concluded that Carroll had failed to prove that Trump raped her but instead that she had been"sexually abused" rather than"raped."
"Now that the court has denied Trump's motion for a new trial or to decrease the amount of the verdict, E. Jean Carroll looks forward to receiving the $5 million in damages that the jury awarded her," Attorney Robbie Kaplan, who represents Carroll, said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press.In May, the jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll after her legal team alleged Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
Carroll’s legal team then sought an additional $10 million in a pending defamation claim to hold him liable for his remarks.

Donald Trump loses bid for new trial in E. Jean Carroll caseA federal judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump's request for a new trial after a jury found the former U.S. president liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million. Kaplan said the unanimous May 9 verdict was 'almost entirely in favor of Ms. Carroll,' and neither a 'seriously erroneous result' nor a 'miscarriage of justice.' Carroll, 79, accused Trump, 77, of raping her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, and defaming her when he branded the incident a hoax in an October 2022 post on his Truth Social platform.
