Trump found guilty of defaming and sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.

E. Jean Carroll expressed her joy for women across America after former President Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. Carroll said the court win was not about the millions she was awarded in damages but securing a victory for all women. A nine-person New York jury awarded the writer $5 million in damages for claims of battery and defamation, but said Trump wasn’t liable for the alleged rape of Carroll at a Manhattan department store in the 1990s. Trump, who is campaigning for the 2024 presidency, has consistently denied Carroll’s claims.
