Trump Seeks New Trial or Reduced Penalty in E. Jean Carroll Case

Former President Donald Trump is seeking to reduce the $83.3 million jury award or secure a new trial in E. Jean Carroll's defamation case against him, arguing that the judge's restrictions on his testimony influenced the verdict. Trump's lawyers claim that the jury should have been instructed differently and that the damages awarded are excessive. Carroll opposes Trump's efforts, stating that the evidence shows an increase in defamatory comments after a previous verdict. The judge is considering Trump's request for more time to post the bond.
