US appeals court upholds sexual abuse verdict against Trump
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court upheld the jury’s verdict finding Donald Trump sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll and denied his request for a new trial.Trump challenged the $5 million civil verdict alleging the trial judge made numerous errors, including allowing testimony of two other women who claimed Trump sexually assaulted them.The appeals court concluded the trial judge didn’t abuse his discretion in ruling on evidence.

Jean Carroll and I are gratified by today’s decision. We thank the Second Circuit for its careful consideration of the parties’ arguments,” said Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s...

Jimmy Carter: From peanut farmer to one-term president and Nobel winner
