BlockBeats News, on December 31, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit made a decision on the 30th, rejecting former President Trump's request for a rehearing in the case filed by author E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault and defamation. The appellate court stated in a lengthy 77-page document that Trump failed to prove that the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York made an error in the relevant ruling, and the information provided by Trump did not demonstrate any fault on the part of the court that impacted his substantive rights and warranted a rehearing. Carroll accused then-President Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s in 2019, a claim that Trump has consistently denied. (Jin Shi)
