A federal jury in Manhattan just found Donald Turmp liable today in the civil battery and defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll. The writer claimed that that the one-time real estate mogul raped her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.
While not finding Trump guilty of rape, he jury of six men and three women in the civil case did find him guilty of sexual abuse and defamation. The jury awarded $2 million to Carroll for battery, and $3 million for defamation.
The past and present candidate for the White House had repeatedly mocked, attacked and dismissed Carroll’s claims.
The jurors deliberated for just over 2½ hours. That’s just over an hour longer than the jury instruction received from the judge earlier this week.
Amidst the barrage of lawsuits, indictments and investigations the former one-term president faces, today’s verdict also comes just hours before Trump is set to appear on CNN in a rare town hall. Back in the courts, just last week a judge tossed out Trump’s lawsuit against The New York Times and three journalists who published a 2018 piece on his tax schemes.
