A federal appeals court has upheld the multimillion-dollar award granted to writer E. Jean Carroll in her defamation case against Donald Trump.

“On review for abuse of discretion, we conclude that Mr. Trump has not demonstrated that the district court erred in any of the challenged rulings,” a panel of three judges from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, issued Monday, says. “Further, he has not carried his burden to show that any claimed error or combination of claimed errors affected his substantial rights as required to warrant a new trial.”
