Ten months after a Manhattan jury delivered E. Jean Carroll’s first verdict against former President Donald Trump in a defamation and sexual abuse case, Carroll’s lawyers late Wednesday evening urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to affirm the judgment.
In Trump’s appellate brief, which was filed in November, his lawyers argued that U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Southern District of New York erred when he admitted evidence related to Trump’s alleged prior bad acts unrelated to Carroll and inappropriately precluded defense evidence.
