Donald Trump’s civil trial over a rape allegation brought against him by E Jean Carroll has concluded, with the former president being found liable for sexual abuse of the author in 1996.
The conclusion of the trial is far from the end of the legal battle over Ms Carroll’s allegation, as the former president says he intends to appeal the jury’s decision, which cleared him of rape. But for now, he remains tarred with the jury’s finding that Ms Carroll’s claims were credible, and their ruling that he must pay $5m in damages as a result.
