Former President Trump has now appealed the decision handed down by the jury this week in E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit.

He’s filing this with the 2nd Circuit:

 
This comes as E.Jean Carroll is now threatening another lawsuit over Trump’s comments on CNN last night:

E. Jean Carroll threatened to sue Donald Trump for a third time over the ‘vile’ comments he made during the CNN town hall on Wednesday night.

Her latest legal threat came as the former President formally filed a notice of appeal after he was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming the Elle columnist, and awarded her $5million in damages.

Carroll told The New York Times on Thursday that she was considering filing another defamation suit after Trump told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins the story was ‘fake’ and ‘made up’.

He also mocked her ‘hanky panky’ claims, called her a ‘whack job’ and claimed the judge banned his legal team from entering evidence that Carroll called her husband an ‘ape’ and had a cat ‘named vagina’.

‘It’s just stupid, it’s just disgusting, vile, foul, it wounds people’, Carroll told The Times.

Following a two-week trial, the jury found Trump liable in the civil case for abuse and defamation but not rape, after just under three hours of deliberations.

Trump’s lawyer Joseph Tacopina had previously said he would appeal the verdict and said the former president could never get a fair trial in New York.

His notice of appeal to the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was filed hours after U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan issued a ruling awarding Carroll the judgment and closing the case.

I don’t know Trump’s chances of winning this but you can be sure it won’t be concluded anytime soon. In fact I doubt we’ll see much activity on it through the 2024 election.
