Jury Finds Trump Liable for Sexual Abuse and Defamation of E. Jean Carroll — $5M Award (2023-05-09)
A federal jury in Manhattan finds Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s and defaming her when she came forward. The jury awards $5 million in damages. Trump denies any wrongdoing and continues to attack Carroll on social media — leading to a second defamation trial. The verdict does not slow Trump's campaign, but it establishes a pattern of legal accountability that follows him through the election.
