"Trump loses bid for appeals court to reconsider m loss to E Jean Carroll"

A federal appeals court on Friday declined to rehear President Donald Trump's challenge to a $5m (£3.6m) sexual abuse and defamation suit he lost to writer E Jean Carroll two years ago.
In May 2023, a New York jury awarded Ms Carroll damages over her civil claim that Mr Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, and then branded the incident a hoax on social media. He denied the allegations.
Mr Trump, 78, had asked for a hearing before the full US Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, after a three-judge panel rejected his appeal.
The appellate court did not offer an explanation, though two of the 13 judges, both appointed by Mr Trump, dissented.
