Donald Trump Ordered To Pay $83 Million To Writer In Defamation Case

Former US president Donald Trump was ordered Friday by a New York jury to pay $83 million in damages to writer E. Jean Carroll, whom he publicly insulted and called a liar for alleging that he sexually assaulted her.

The jury reached its decision after slightly less than three hours of deliberations. Trump made multiple comments about Carroll while he was president, demeaning her in the wake of her allegation of a 1990s assault.
