In Thursday's filing, Trump's lawyers asked a judge to reduce the financial penalty to no more than $900,000 or order a new trial.
The request centers on the jury finding Trump guilty of sexual assault and not rape.
"Such abuse could have included groping of [Carroll's] breasts through clothing or similar conduct, which is a far cry from rape. Therefore, an award of $2 million for such conduct, which admittedly did not cause any diagnosed mental injury to [Carroll], is grossly excessive under the applicable case law," the filing reads.
The $2 million portion of the award is for battery, while the remaining $3 million is for defamation.
Carroll's lawyer Robert Kaplan pushed back against the claims in the filing Thursday, telling NBC News the jury "carefully considered the evidence that Ms. Carroll presented" and that "Trump did not put on a single witness of his own."
