Donald Trump appeals against $5m verdict in sex abuse trial

Former US President Donald Trump has filed a court notice of appeal two days after a civil trial found he sexually abused a woman, E Jean Carroll, in a New York department store.

A New York jury awarded Carroll nearly $5m in damages over her allegation that Trump attacked her in the 1990s.

Jurors found Trump, 76, liable for battery and defamation, but not rape.
