Trump Ordered to Pay $83.3M to E. Jean Carroll in Defamation Case

The verdict, which follows a previous ruling finding Trump liable for sexual abuse, has sparked controversy, with supporters claiming it is politically motivated and critics hailing it as a victory for women.

Donald Trump has been ordered by a Manhattan jury to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defamation.
Last year, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing Carroll in the spring of 1996.
Trump has responded to the verdict by claiming that the legal system is being used as a political weapon against him and the Republican Party.
Supporters of Trump, including Rev. Franklin Graham and Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, have criticized the verdict, claiming it is part of a campaign by Democrats to keep Trump out of office.
Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's lawyer, has praised the verdict as a victory for women who stand up to bullies and proof that the law applies to everyone, even former presidents.
