Federal judge denies Donald Trump's appeal to delay execution of $83.3 million E. Jean Carroll verdict

A US judge has labelled former president Donald Trump's appeal against his decision, allowing a defamation lawsuit filed by writer E. Jean Carroll “frivolous”.&nbsp;

The ruling was made by US District Judge Lewis Kaplan on Friday (August 18). He also denied Trump's attempt to delay Carroll's case while he pursued an appeal against the June 29 decision — which had concluded that the former president was not entitled to absolute presidential immunity for calling Carroll a liar.

<h2>‘Frivolous’</h2>

Judge Kaplan as per Reuters, remarked, "Mr. Trump has not provided a single reason for the court to find that there is any likelihood that he will succeed on appeal."

"This court certifies that the appeal itself is frivolous,"&nbsp;Kaplan wrote.

If the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan agrees that Trump's appeal is frivolous, in line with federal court procedures, it could potentially order him to pay Carroll damages and costs.

<h2>Trump's attempts to&nbsp;delay the case</h2>

Reportedly, in his attempt to secure a stay, the former president had argued that he had a substantial likelihood of proving that Judge Kaplan's June 29 ruling was incorrect. He also claimed that there was "immense public interest" in allowing the appeals court to take a decision.&nbsp;

Furthermore, Trump contended that he would suffer irreparable harm if a trial which is scheduled for January 15, 2024 took place before the appeals court's decision.

However, Judge Kaplan rejected Trump's assertions, and said that Carroll deserved her day in court without undue delay due to the businessman's other trials or his upcoming presidential campaign activities.&nbsp;

The judge also highlighted that Trump's claim of irreparable harm didn't make sense given the delay of over 3.5 years in raising the immunity defence.

"The only purported harm Mr. Trump reasonably may claim he would suffer in this case would be having to stand trial," wrote the judge in his ruling.

<h2>Trump’s legal troubles</h2>

This lawsuit is just one in a series of legal challenges faced by 77-year-old Donald Trump.&nbsp;In addition to Carroll's defamation cases, Trump,&nbsp;who is currently a leading contender for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination,&nbsp;is grappling with four separate criminal indictments, two of which are related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election loss.

Previously, on May 9, in a separate verdict, a jury held Trump liable for $5 million in damages in response to Carroll's claim of sexual abuse and defamation. Trump has also appealed that verdict.

Judge labels Trump's appeal 'frivolous' in E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit

A federal court in New York has set the date for a second defamation trial against former president Donald Trump brought by journalist E. Jean Carroll who received $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages last month in a jury verdict.

A federal court in New York has set the date for a second defamation trial against former president Donald Trump brought by journalist E. Jean Carroll who received $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages last month in a jury verdict. The trial will begin on 15 January 2024 and Carroll is seeking at least $10 million in damages this time. The timing is critical as 2024 is when the US goes into presidential polls and Trump's election campaign might be in full swing by then. Trump's lawyers unsuccessfully argued that Carroll shouldn't have been allowed to amend the defamation lawsuit. “We maintain that she should not be permitted to retroactively change her legal theory, at the eleventh hour, to avoid the consequences of an adverse finding against her," said Alina Habba, Trump's attorney earlier this week. WATCH | Donald Trump sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll, US jury rules × Trump's tirade at CNN town hall Trump's recent statements at a CNN town hall triggered Carroll to file another complaint. Notably, a day after a nine-member jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming the Elle magazine writer, he called her a 'whack job'. He added that Carroll was telling a "made-up story" and that he didn't know her, which according to Carroll's lawyers, comes under the category of further "defamatory statements". "Trump’s defamatory statements post-verdict show the depth of his malice toward Carroll since it is hard to imagine defamatory conduct that could possibly be more motivated by hatred, ill will, or spite," the complaint reads. "This conduct supports a very substantial punitive damages award in Carroll’s favor both to punish Trump, to deter him from engaging in further defamation, and to deter others from doing the same," it added.

After receiving the verdict in her favour, Carroll termed it a 'victory' for all women who are victims of sexual assault. Although the jury reached a unanimous decision regarding the defamation and sexual abuse, it did not agree with Carroll’s allegation that the former president raped her. After the verdict, Carroll termed it a 'victory' for all women who are victims of sexual assault. “The old view of the perfect victim was a woman who always screamed. A woman who immediately reported. A woman whose life was supposed to fold up and she’s never supposed to experience happiness again,” said Carroll. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE:

Round two of E. Jean Carroll vs Trump defamation trial set for this date

Former US President Donald Trump has been sued for defamation a second time. On Thursday former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll accused him of lying by denying that he had raped her 27 years back.

The writer has filed the complaint with a federal court in Manhattan under New York's Adult Survivors Act. The new rule gives victims of sexual assault a year to file a lawsuit against their alleged abusers, even if the incident took place in the past and the statute of limitations has run out.&nbsp;Survivors can sue their alleged abusers starting Thanksgiving Day (November 24th).

Reuters reports that in her complaint, Carroll has also charged Trump with battery in an alleged encounter at the Bergdorf Goodman store in Manhattan.

She claimed that Trump's battery left her with psychological damage, unable to maintain a romantic relationship, which she used as evidence for her battery claim.

This is Carroll's second defamation case against Trump, the first one was filed in 2019 after the billionaire initially denied the accusation.

Carroll's first complaint risks getting dismissed if judges decided that the United States government, which enjoys sovereign immunity from defamation charges, could be used in place of Trump as a defendant.

However, even if the dismissal were to happen it would not affect her latest complaint as having left the White House in January 2021, Trump is now a private citizen.

The first lawsuit is due to go to trial on February 6, 2023, before US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan, but as per Reuters, this is likely to be postponed due to the appeals process.
