Trump found liable for sexual abuse in E. Jean Carroll civil case.

A Manhattan jury found former President Donald J. Trump liable for the sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll and for defaming her when he called her case “a complete con job” and “a Hoax and a lie” on his Truth Social website. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. Although more than a dozen women have accused Mr. Trump of sexual misconduct over the years, Ms. Carroll’s case is the first claim to be successfully tested before a jury. The verdict is civil, not criminal, meaning Mr. Trump has not been convicted of any crime and faces no prison time.
