Go to the article to see what the lawyers for each side were saying.Former President Donald Trump attended arguments in a federal appeals court in New York on Friday as he seeks to erase a $5 million judgment finding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll.
He attended the hearing, which lasted all of 22 minutes, after forgoing a crucial hearing Thursday in his Washington, D.C., criminal case. Trump's decision to attend brought a spotlight to the case in which a jury concluded he likely committed sexual abuse, just as his presidential campaign enters the final sprint to the election.
The case is one of two in which unanimous federal juries awarded Carroll a total of more than $88 million.
