Verdict reached in E. Jean Carroll defamation trial
Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages in the defamation trial brought by writer E. Jean Carroll. This comes after Trump stormed out of the courtroom during closing arguments and after he was already found liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll. The jury reached the unanimous verdict after just a few hours of deliberation. The damages include $7.3 million in compensatory damages, $11 million for a reputation repair program, and $65 million in punitive damages. Trump is expected to appeal the decision.
