TL;DR Summary
A civil court jury in New York has found former US President Donald Trump liable for sexually assaulting magazine columnist E Jean Carroll in a department store in the 1990s. However, he was not found liable for raping her. The jury also found Trump liable for defamation for calling the writer's accusations "a hoax and a lie". This is the first time Trump has been found legally responsible for a sexual assault. The Manhattan jury ordered Trump to pay her about $5m (£4m) in damages. Trump's lawyer said the former president plans to appeal against the decision.
