Trump held a press conference hours after attending a federal appeals court attempting to get a new trial after a jury found he sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll. A nine-member jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages following a two-week trial last year and another jury awarded her $83.3 million in damages after finding Trump defamed her again in 2022.

President Trump denounced the “disgraceful” cases against him and “rigged judges” in a press appearance at Trump Tower in Manhattan on Friday — following his appearance in court where his lawyers were appealing a jury verdict that found the Republican nominee liable for sexually assaulting the author E. Jean Carroll at the Bergdorf Goodman department store some time in the 1990s, and then defaming her after she made her allegations while he was president.
