Former US President Donald Trump (77) has to accept another legal setback. A New York judge on Wednesday denied a request from Trump’s lawyers to reopen a civil sex abuse case. Contrary to Trump’s lawyers, the jury in this trial did not reach a “seriously wrong conclusion,” Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled, according to consistent US media reports.
In May, a New York jury found evidence that Trump had assaulted and sexually assaulted American author E. Jean Carroll (79) in a luxury department store in New York in 1996. The jury rejected the rape charge. Trump was ordered to pay five million dollars (about 4.3 million Swiss francs) in damages.
Trump still going to be president?
Shortly after the conviction, Carroll announced that he would again take legal action against the ex-president. As a reason, she cited further statements from Trump after the ruling. A federal judge in New York has tentatively set the trial to begin on January 15, 2024.
Trump is now also suing Carroll for defamation. Trump, who wants to run as a Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, also faces courts in several other cases. (SDA)
