"Trump's Courtroom Conduct: Costing Millions and Campaigning"

E. Jean Carroll, who was awarded $83.3 million in damages in a defamation trial against Donald Trump, described the courtroom as a "campaign stop" for the former president, accusing him of using her to win voters. Carroll alleged that Trump raped her in the mid-1990s and defamed her when he denied her claim, with a Manhattan federal jury finding Trump liable for sexual abuse. Despite initial fear, Carroll said Trump appeared powerless during the trial. She expressed determination to use the awarded money to support causes, including potentially restoring women's rights. Trump called the verdict "absolutely ridiculous" and plans to appeal, as he faces other legal challenges.
