A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday denied Donald Trump’s request for a new civil trial filed by E. Jean Carrollafter the jury found the former president liability for sexual abuse and slander against the writer and awarded him $5 million in damages.

In a 59-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan stated that the jury failed to reach a “seriously erroneous result” and that the May 9 verdict it was not a “judicial error”.

Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the mid-90s and later called the incident a lie in an October 2022 post on her Truth Social platform.

Trump claimed that awarding Carroll $2 million in damages sexual abuse was “excessive” because the jury found that he did not rape her and the libel decision was based on “pure speculation”.

Lawyers for Trump and Carroll did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
