The former president denies knowing or ever meeting the woman, and even called his accuser a “wack job” during a CNN town hall event

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a court notice of appeal two days after he was found liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll, in a New York department store.

A New York jury awarded Carroll nearly $5m in damages over claims Trump attacked her in the 1990s.

Jurors found Trump liable for battery and defamation, but not rape.

The former president denies knowing or ever meeting the woman, and even called his accuser a “wack job” during a CNN town hall event.

He’s also accusing the civil trial’s judge of anti-Trump bias and says his decision not to testify in person would not have made any difference to the outcome.

The jury’s verdict marks the first time Trump has been found legally responsible for assault.

Carroll claims Trump raped her inside a dressing room and defamed her by calling her allegation “a hoax and a lie”.

While the jury found Trump liable for sexual battery and defamation, they did not find him liable of raping Carroll.

In a closed-door vote, Senator Thune takes on a pivotal leadership role as Senate Republicans look to the future.

In a significant shift within Senate Republican leadership, Senator John Thune of South Dakota has been elected as the new Senate GOP leader, taking over from long-time leader Senator Mitch McConnell.

The decision came after a secret ballot vote among GOP members, marking the end of McConnell’s influential tenure.

Analysts note that his leadership style is expected to maintain unity while possibly adopting fresh tactics to strengthen the party’s legislative influence.

As Thune steps into this prominent role, Republicans and observers alike will watch how his leadership influences the Senate’s dynamics and the broader political landscape.
