Jean Carroll caseA federal judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump's request for a new trial after a jury found the former U.S. president liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded her $5 million. Kaplan said the unanimous May 9 verdict was 'almost entirely in favor of Ms. Carroll,' and neither a 'seriously erroneous result' nor a 'miscarriage of justice.'
