It is the second time that Carrol wins a lawsuit against the former American president. Last May, a jury convicted the former president of sexual abuse and defamation.
The former president of the United States Donald Trump (2017-2021) was ordered to pay this Friday by a federal jury $83.3 million (76.69 million euros) damages for defamation to E. Jean Carroll in 2019, when he said he did not know the journalist and that her accusation of sexual abuse was false.
After three hours of deliberation, the jury, consisting of seven men and two women, unanimously decided that the favorite in the Republican presidential primaries must pay 18.3 million in damages and another 65 million in punitive damages. much higher figures of those considered during the process.
Trump, who was present on the final day of the trial, left the court before the jury’s verdict was known and posted on his social network Truth Social He called it “completely ridiculous.”.
This is the second time that the journalist and her lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, have won a lawsuit against Trump. A jury last May convicted the former president of sexual abuse for inserting him into Carroll’s vagina without consent, but also for defamation (in other comments by Trump) and paying a sum of 5 million dollars.
