Carroll vs Trump Trial Verdict Reached.
Breaking News: Donald Trump Found Liable for Battery and Defamation in E. Jean Carroll Trial
The verdict is in: former President Donald Trump has been found liable for battery and defamation in a civil trial brought forth by writer E. Jean Carroll. The jury, made up of six men and three women, deliberated for over two and a half hours before reaching their decision.
Carroll’s Claims
Carroll claimed that Trump sexually assaulted and raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan in the mid-1990s. She also claimed that he defamed her when she went public with the accusation in 2019.
The Verdict
The jury was tasked with determining whether or not Trump forcibly touched and defamed Carroll. They ultimately found him liable for both battery and defamation. The New York jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.
Trump has consistently denied the allegations and has called her claim a hoax. He plans to appeal the verdict.
Trump’s Response
After the verdict was reached, Trump released a statement on Truth Social. He remains focused on his political ambitions, as the Iowa Caucuses are less than 10 months away and Republicans are watching to see if Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis announces his own bid for president.
