Former President Donald Trump’s appeal request for E. Jean Carroll’s $83 million defamation suit verdict was denied.
In January, Trump was ordered to pay $83.3 million in a defamation lawsuit stemming from his denial of Carroll’s claim that he raped her in the mid-1990s. Trump almost immediately announced he would appeal the decision, an appeal that was shot down on Thursday.
In an 18-page ruling, Judge Lewis Kaplan dismissed the legal argument Trump’s attorneys used, saying that the legal precedent cited “has no application to the present case.”
“In short, the argument — which Mr. Trump previously made to the jury, conspicuously without success, and which defies common sense — does not warrant dismissal as a matter of law,” he wrote.
When the ruling was made in January, Trump released a statement bashing the verdicts.
“Absolutely ridiculous!” he said. “I fully disagree with both verdicts, and will be appealing this whole Biden Directed Witch Hunt focused on me and the Republican Party. Our Legal System is out of control, and being used as a Political Weapon. They have taken away all First Amendment Rights.”

I guess she gets to go shopping...

Though I believe it's plausible he would do Stormy and Karen and pay them off. Unless Trump was doing coke I find it impossible to believe he'd do Jean.

Trump should pay this right after Al Sharpton pays off his 26-year-old defamation judgment.

Hard to believe she will get away with this. Carroll laughed and basically bragged that it was a scam with Maddow, promising to buy her a penthouse if by some chance she actually gets the money. It makes no sense at all.
Anyone who has ever known Trump even 50 years ago should sue him NOW for 100 million dollars. Why not? Anything goes. Trump will always be found guilty.
If you sue Trump today for stepping on your toe 30 years ago, that's it. You win.
