周三,联邦上诉法院拒绝受理唐纳德·特朗普总统要求重审其上诉的请求,该上诉针对作家E·让·卡罗尔提起的8300万美元诽谤判决。

特朗普曾请求由第二巡回上诉法院全部12名法官组成的合议庭进行审理,但大多数法官驳回了特朗普的动议。这一进展使得特朗普可以直接向最高法院提起上诉。

特朗普的律师辩称,他享有针对卡罗尔指控的总统豁免权。

特朗普的上诉之路始于一名联邦陪审团认定,特朗普称卡罗尔是骗子,因为她指控自己在20世纪90年代对其实施性侵,此举构成诽谤。

如果特朗普就这起8300万美元的案件提起上诉,这将是他与E·让·卡罗尔的第二起相关案件被提交至大法官们面前。他还曾在2025年11月就另一桩针对他的5万美元判决向最高法院提起上诉。

卡罗尔是一名记者兼建议专栏作家,2019年她出版了一本书,书中声称特朗普于1996年在纽约市特朗普大厦街对面的伯格多夫·古德曼百货公司的更衣室强奸了她,此后她两次起诉特朗普。特朗普多次否认卡罗尔的指控,称这起案件是“一场彻头彻尾的骗局”。他还称卡罗尔“不是我喜欢的类型”。

“我不认识这个女人,完全不知道她是谁,只知道她似乎在多年前拿到了一张我和我丈夫的照片,当时我在一场名人慈善活动的接待队列中与她握手,”特朗普2022年10月在Truth社交平台上写道。

Federal appeals court refuses to rehear Trump appeal of $83M E Jean Carroll defamation judgment

April 30, 2026 7:07am EDT / Fox News

The 2nd Circuit’s decision means this would be the second Carroll case to potentially reach the Supreme Court

By Anders Hagstrom Fox News

A federal appeals court declined to take up President Donald Trump’s request to rehear his appeal of the $83 million judgment in the defamation case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll on Wednesday.

Trump had sought a hearing by the full 12-judge Second Circuit Court of Appeals, but a majority of the judges denied Trump’s motion. The development now allows Trump to appeal the case directly to the Supreme Court.

Lawyers for Trump argue he has presidential immunity from Carroll’s accusations.

Trump’s quest for appeals began after a federal jury found that Trump defamed Carroll when he called her a liar for accusing him of sexually abusing her in the 1990s.

If Trump appeals the $83 million case, it would be the second of his contests with E. Jean Carroll to appear before the justices. He also appealed a separate $5 million ruling against him to the court in November 2025.

Carroll, a journalist and advice columnist, sued Trump twice after she released a book in 2019 in which she claimed that he raped her in 1996 in the dressing room of New York City’s Bergdorf Goodman department store across the street from Trump Tower. Trump has repeatedly denied Carroll’s claims and said the case was “a complete con job.” He also said that Carroll was “not my type.”

“I don’t know this woman, have no idea who she is, other than it seems she got a picture of me many years ago, with her husband, shaking my hand on a reception line at a celebrity charity event,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in October 2022.

In May 2023, a jury found Trump was not liable for rape but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Carroll was awarded a total of $5 million in damages.
