Trump Plans New York Press Conference After Hearing Appeal Arguments in Sexual Abuse Case

Upcoming News: Trump's Press Conference

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to hold a press conference in New York this afternoon after hearing arguments in an appeal of a sexual abuse case against him.

The case was brought by E. Jean Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist who accused Trump of raping her in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman in the mid-1990s.

The Allegations

Carroll first made the allegations against Trump in a 2019 book, "What Do We Need Men For? A Modest Proposal."

Trump has denied the allegations and called them "fabricated" and "false."

The Lawsuit

Carroll sued Trump for defamation in 2019, after he denied the allegations.

A federal judge dismissed the case in 2022, ruling that Trump was protected by the First Amendment.

Carroll appealed the ruling, and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear the case.

The Appeal

The appeal hearing was held on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

Carroll's lawyer argued that Trump's statements about her were defamatory and that he should not be protected by the First Amendment.

Trump's lawyer argued that Trump's statements were protected by the First Amendment and that Carroll had failed to prove that he had made them with actual malice.

The Press Conference

After the appeal hearing, Trump announced that he would hold a press conference in New York.

It is unclear what Trump will say at the press conference, but he is likely to address the allegations against him and the outcome of the appeal hearing.

Conclusion

The press conference is scheduled to begin at 4:00 pm EST.
