After a day filled with dramatic twists and heated arguments, the defamation damages trial against former President Donald Trump has now been handed over to the jury at the Manhattan courthouse. This trial stems from allegations made by E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her and subsequently defaming her character.
The jury, consisting of seven men and two women, has the crucial task of determining the amount of compensation Trump should pay to Carroll for his denial of the assault and his disparaging remarks about her. It is important to note that in a previous trial, another jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll and ordered him to pay $5 million in damages for defamation in 2022.
