🚨 LEGAL REALITY: The documented court findings Trump can’t overturn. – story-veterans.com – Page 2

Presiding over the case, Juan Merchan rejected Trump’s efforts to dismiss the verdict or overturn the conviction. In his ruling, Merchan stated that the attempts to invalidate the jury’s decision lacked legal merit and emphasized that the justice system must apply equally to all defendants, regardless of their political status. The conviction, he confirmed, will remain part of the permanent legal record.

The case marked the first time in American history that a former president was convicted of felony crimes. Legal experts say the precedent alone ensures the ruling will be studied for decades.

But the Manhattan conviction is only one part of a broader legal saga that has placed Trump in multiple courtrooms across the country.

In a separate set of civil lawsuits filed by writer E. Jean Carroll, juries concluded that Trump was liable for sexual abuse and defamation related to statements he made denying her allegations. The courts awarded Carroll tens of millions of dollars in damages, concluding that Trump’s public attacks on her credibility caused serious harm.

Judges overseeing those cases described Trump’s conduct as deliberate and malicious. Their rulings emphasized that public figures do not have the right to defame accusers simply because the allegations are politically inconvenient.
