Court Rejects Trump Bid to Block Carroll's $5.8M Award

The Spin


Two separate juries found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and every appeal has failed — the verdict is settled law. Trump even defamed Carroll again the day after losing the first trial, proving the jury got it right. No amount of money or legal maneuvering changes the fact that a unanimous jury heard the evidence and held him accountable.

Carroll couldn't name the year of the alleged incident, declined DNA testing and relied on unsubstantiated "propensity" witnesses with no corroborating evidence. Federal Rules 413-415 let plaintiffs stack juries with inflammatory accusers, gutting the accused's right to a fair trial. A verdict built on procedural shortcuts and character assassination isn't justice — it's a political hit dressed up in legal clothing.
