US court refuses to hear Trump’s appeal of E Jean Carroll $83m defamation case

Decision from federal appeals court comes almost 18 months after Trump appealed following 2024 election win

A federal appeals court has announced it will not grant a rare meeting of its active judges to hear an appeal of the $83m civil case verdict against Donald Trump for defaming magazine advice columnist E Jean Carroll over a forced sexual encounter three decades ago.

The second US circuit court of appeals was divided late on Wednesday in its decision, ultimately, to reject proceeding to a so-called en banc hearing, a rare meeting of all of its judges to consider a conclusion.
