      The E. Jean Carroll defamation case was in federal court.

          Yes, but the E. Jean Carroll case was a civil trial.

          In case anyone thought there was any aspect of the law Trump hasn’t shit on.

          The legal term for Engoron’s ruling (New York state civil fraud judgment) is “undertaking.” In the Carroll case (Kaplan, federal defamation), it’s “damages,” a large portion of which are punitive damages.
