Lawyers for an advice columnist who won a $5 million sex abuse and defamation jury verdict against former President Donald Trump have urged a judge to reject Trump's efforts to reduce the award to under $1 million
FILE - Former President Donald Trump speaks at the Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC 2023, Saturday, March 4, 2023, at National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. Lawyers for an advice columnist who won a $5 million sex abuse and defamation jury verdict against Trump have urged a judge to reject his efforts to reduce the award to under $1 million.
The jury awarded $2 million in compensatory damages for sexual abuse. Most of the rest of the $5 million award was for defamation. Trump’s lawyers said the sex abuse award was grossly excessive and the rest was based on pure speculation. “In fact, that was not a version of events that was presented to the jury at trial at all,” Carroll's lawyers wrote. “The word ‘breast’ was not used a single time during Carroll’s testimony, in contrast to the word 'vagina,' which was used repeatedly.”
The jury award likely resulted from its understanding that Carroll repeatedly “has had to relive the painful sensation of Trump’s fingers jamming inside her,” Carroll's lawyers said.
