Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll after a jury ruled in her favor. Trump vows to appeal the verdict in a social media post. Find out more about this high-profile defamation case!
Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll, following a defamation case where she accused him of rape. Carroll, an 80-year-old writer, claimed in a 2019 article that Trump had sexually assaulted her. The settlement stems from Carroll's allegation and the subsequent legal battle that unfolded in court.
During the trial, Trump attended most of the proceedings, but notably left the courtroom during closing arguments. He expressed his intention to appeal the verdict through a post on his Truth Social platform, calling it a 'Biden Directed Witch Hunt.' Carroll, on the other hand, emerged victorious in this legal battle.
This isn't the first time Trump has faced legal repercussions regarding Carroll's accusations. Last year, a separate jury mandated him to pay $5 million in damages for defamation. The recent ruling of $83.3 million marks a significant development in the ongoing legal saga between Trump and Carroll.
In addition to the courtroom drama, the high-profile case has garnered significant attention in the media, sparking debates about defamation, abuse allegations, and the power dynamics at play. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for how public figures are held accountable for their statements and actions.
