Former US President Donald Trump on Thursday filed an appeal against a Manhattan federal court conviction that convicted him of sexually harassing and defaming columnist Elizabeth Jean Carroll nearly three decades ago, awarding the plaintiff $5 million in damages.
Carroll, 79, sued Trump in 2022, accusing him of raping her in the Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s and then of libel, saying he made up the story to sell her memoirs.
The jury (six men and three women) charged Donald Trump with libel and sexual harassment, not rape.
Pending an appeal, the Republican mogul is not required to pay damages awarded to 79-year-old Carroll.
