Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in defamation damages, jury rules

The verdict comes after a dramatic day in court that included the former president storming out of the courtroom during Carroll's closing argument.

Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday. Trump's attorney Alina Habba maintained that Carroll “had failed to show she is entitled to any damages at all” because she "actively sought the comments and the attention" she received. A different jury last year found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in a New York City department store in the 1990s and for defaming her by mocking her claims after he left the White House.
