Former President Trump demanded he receive a new trial after a jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan has previously rejected many of the arguments contained within Trump’s two separate post-trial motions, both filed Tuesday.
In particular, the former president took aim at how Kaplan, an appointee of former President Clinton, heavily restricted what Trump could tell jurors while on the witness stand.
Kaplan imposed the limitations after finding Trump liable for defamation prior to trial because of Carroll’s win in a separate lawsuit last year. January’s trial was limited to the issue of damages.
