US judge upholds Trump's $83.3 million defamation loss, rejects new trial
Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
  • A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

  • In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

  • Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

  • In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.

  • Several individuals posing as electors for Trump have been charged in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The fake elector scheme is also a focal point in the federal case against Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

  • Trump defended the bond in court, emphasizing that he has plenty of money to put up for it.

Quick Glance: Millions more spent on Trump legal fees as Biden and Democratic Party expand campaign funds lead
  • Donald Trump’s leadership PAC spent as much money as it took in last month, with his legal bills remaining a top expense as the former president grappled both with the aftermath of losing a civil fraud case and prepared for the start of a historic criminal trial in a Manhattan court.

  • Save America, the political action committee that has underwritten much of Trump’s legal expenses, spent nearly $3.7 million on legal-related expenses in March – nearly $3 out of every $4 it collected, according to a filing Saturday night with the Federal Election Commission.

  • President Joe Biden alongside the Democratic National Committee increased their financial lead over Trump and the GOP in the past month.

  • The financial boost for Kennedy, the vice presidential pick of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., represents a financial boon for his independent bid for the White House. His campaign received a $2 million donation from Nicole Shanahan in March and raised over $3 million more that same month, based on campaign filings.
