A federal appeals court's decision to uphold a $5 million verdict against President-elect Donald Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case has reignited discussions about the judicial system's impartiality. The ruling, which affirms a lower court's decision, adds another chapter to Trump's mounting legal challenges — including allegations of sexual assault and defamation stemming from events Carroll claims occurred in the 1990s.
Trump has consistently denied Carroll's allegations and called her claims a "con job." His legal team has sharply criticized the court's handling of the case, citing what they view as prejudicial evidence. Central to their concerns is the inclusion of testimony from two other women alleging decades-old misconduct by Trump, along with the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape where Trump made controversial remarks about advancing on women without their consent.
