TL;DR Summary

A federal jury has ordered Donald Trump to pay E Jean Carroll over $83m in damages for defaming her by denying he sexually assaulted her, with $65m in punitive damages and over $18m in compensatory damages. The verdict comes after a contentious two-week civil trial in Manhattan, where Trump's attorneys aggressively argued against Carroll's case. Despite the previous verdict against him, Trump has continued to repeat potentially defamatory statements against Carroll. His attorney plans to appeal the decision, adding to Trump's growing list of legal liabilities.
