Former President Trump is fighting back against a recent jury verdict which found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. In a move that should resonate with his conservative base, Trump's legal team filed an appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday. The decision to contest the verdict comes as no surprise, given that his lawyers had previously indicated their intention to do so. It's clear that Trump is unwilling to let this matter rest.

The nine-member jury responsible for the verdict sided with Carroll in her lawsuit and ordered Trump to pay her $5 million in damages. This occurred on Tuesday, and now Trump is seeking to overturn the decision. In continuing to fight these charges, Trump is standing up for himself against what he may see as an unfounded attack.

Carroll had accused the former president of raping her at a New York department store during the mid-1990s. Additionally, she claimed Trump defamed her by denying her allegations. The lawsuit against Trump was filed in November, making use of a newly effective New York law that allows sexual battery survivors to seek civil damages for a one-year window, regardless of whether the statute of limitations has passed.
