U.S. Appeals Court Rejects Trump's Request For Retrial In Carroll Case

According to BlockBeats, on December 30, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit dismissed a request by President-elect Donald Trump to rehear the case involving writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault and defamation. The court issued a 77-page document stating that Trump failed to demonstrate any errors made by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in its judgment. The information provided by Trump did not indicate any mistakes that affected his substantial rights, warranting a retrial. Carroll filed the lawsuit in 2019, alleging that Trump sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s, a claim he has consistently denied.
