Writer E. Jean Carroll's accusations against Trump date back to the mid 1990s and allege the former US president sexually assaulted her in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City. She first voiced the allegations in 2019. | A US jury has found that former US President Donald Trump is liable for defamation and sexual abuse in the E. Jean Carroll civil case. ● The Tuesday ruling outlined that while Trump did not commit rape, he was liable for battery in regards to Carroll's claim that the former commander-in-chief sexually abused her. ● The nine-member panel awarded the Carroll camp $2 million in damages; however, as the two-part filing also found Trump liable of defaming the writer when he claimed she made up the allegations, she was awarded an additional $3 million in punitive damages. ● Carroll's suit did not specify a dollar amount being sought for damages, leaving it up to jurors to decide on the total sum. ● The ruling, which came down after the jury deliberated for some three hours, settles just one of two lawsuits filed by Carroll against Trump. ● Shortly after news broke of the verdict, Trump blasted the jury's ruling as a "disgrace" and claimed it was yet another edition of the "greatest witch hunt of all time." "I have absolutely no idea who this woman is," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. "This verdict is a disgrace." Earlier Tuesday, Trump indicated he would be taking legal action for what he perceived as an "unconstitutional silencing."
