Trump's Presidential Immunity Claim Rejected in E Jean Carroll Defamation Suit

A US appeals court has rejected former President Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity in a defamation lawsuit filed by writer E Jean Carroll, who accused him of rape. The court upheld a federal judge's decision to reject Trump's immunity claim, allowing Carroll's lawsuit seeking at least $10 million in damages to proceed. Trump had denied knowing Carroll and claimed she fabricated the rape allegation. This ruling is another setback for Trump in the ongoing litigation.
