Trump held liable for sexual abuse and defamation in E. Jean Carroll case.
TL;DR Summary
E. Jean Carroll, a former Elle magazine advice columnist, expressed her elation after a jury found former US President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, awarding her $5 million in damages in her civil lawsuit against him. The verdict represented a fresh legal setback for Trump as he seeks to regain the presidency in 2024. While jurors did not find that Trump raped Carroll, it awarded damages over the incident and over a post last October on Trump's Truth Social platform in which he called Carroll's claim a "complete con job," hoax, and lie. Trump plans to appeal.
