This case is a textbook example of implausible allegations being propped up by highly inflammatory, inadmissible evidence," Sauer said, noting that the jury was allowed to consider such items as the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump boasted years ago about grabbing women's genitals.
E. Jean Carroll brought this case because Donald Trump sexually assaulted her in 1996, in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman, and then defamed her in 2022 by claiming that she was crazy and made the whole thing up," Kaplan said.
Trump's lawyers say the jury's verdict should be tossed because evidence was allowed at trial that should have been excluded and other evidence was excluded that should have been permitted.
The court is unlikely to issue a ruling before November's presidential election. The civil case has both political and financial implications for Trump.
