Trump Appeals E. Jean Carroll Verdict; Poll: Majority of Voters Think Trial in E. Jean Carroll Case Was Unfair
By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump appealed a New York jury’s decision holding him liable for sexual battery and defamation against former Elle Magazine writer E. Jean Carroll.
The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages relating to her allegations that Trump raped her inside a dressing room at Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman department store in 1995 or 1996. The nine-person jury did not find the former president liable for rape. Trump’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal with the 2nd U.S. District Court of Appeals Thursday, CNN reported.
The former president, who is running for re-election in 2024, has said he does not know Carroll personally and alleged she made up the story in an “election interference” attempt.
“My poll numbers went up and they went up with the other fake charge too. Because what’s happening is they’re doing this for election interference,” Trump said during a CNN Republican Presidential town hall Wednesday evening.
It's official.

Poll: Majority of Voters Think Trial in E. Jean Carroll Case Was Unfair
By Breitbart. “The overwhelming majority” of Republican primary voters do not believe former President Donald Trump sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll, according to a poll conducted the day he was found liable in their civil trial, which they also believe was unfair.
The Co-Efficient poll, an internal survey commissioned by the Trump campaign, shows that Trump’s favorability rating among likely Republican primary voters is 63 percent – “the strongest” in the GOP primary field. He holds a net favorability rating of plus 37 percent.
Of those who find Trump favorable, not a single percent say they believe Carroll. Conversely, 87 percent of the sub-demographic believes Trump, as do 14 percent of those who find Trump unfavorable, while 50 percent believe Carroll. Another 36 percent are unsure of who to believe. Among those who have a neutral view of Trump, nearly six in ten say they believe him, versus just two percent who believe Carroll.
The polling outfit also asked voters if they think Trump received a fair trial, again finding the vast majority of those who perceive him positively (90 percent) do not. One in four Republicans who feel negatively about him says that he received an unfair trial, as do 77 percent of those who have neutral feelings toward the 45th president.
