In a highly-anticipated verdict, a jury has ordered former President Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll a staggering $83.3 million in damages for defaming her. This comes after Trump was found liable last year for sexually abusing Carroll. The trial, which has spanned several years, concluded with a substantial monetary award for the plaintiff.
Witnesses inside the courtroom reported a tense and emotional atmosphere as the verdict was read. Carroll, seated between her attorneys Roberta Kaplan and Sean Crowley, held their hands tightly throughout the proceedings. As the foreperson handed a letter to the clerk of the court, it became evident that the damages would be in the millions. The emotional impact of the verdict was palpable as Carroll and her legal team embraced, reminiscent of the unity they displayed during last year's trial.
