Lawyers for Donald Trump maintain that an “erroneous” jury instruction and the judge’s decision to exclude the former president’s testimony about his “state of mind” are enough to support their latest bid for a new E. Jean Carroll trial following an $88.3 million verdict finding him liable for defamation.

Trump, after being found liable for defaming and sexually assaulting Carroll in a prior case, went on to lose a second defamation case in January for statements he made denying the sexual assault allegations on June 21, 2019 and the day after. Now he is seeking a do-over of the trial.
