A federal appeals court panel on Monday upheld a jury verdict earlier this year that found President-elect Donald Trump liable for sexually assaulting advice columnist E. Jean Carroll and ordered him to pay $5 million.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit concluded Trump failed to sufficiently show errors errors impacting his rights or warranting a new trial, according to The Hill newspaper.
