"The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections," Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S...

President Trump on Friday lost his latest effort to get a retrial in the case in which a jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation of the writer E. Jean Carroll.

After the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit denied Mr. Trump's appeal of the case in December, his lawyers — now top officials at the Department of Justice — asked for an en banc review, in which all the judges on the court consider the case.

That request was denied Friday. Mr. Trump has previously indicated he would challenge the case all the way to the Supreme...
