New York, NY – Today, former President Donald Trump, a jury has determined that he is liable to pay a staggering $83.3 million in damages. This substantial amount represents a notable setback for the ex-president, who currently faces various criminal and civil cases as he continues his White House campaign.
This ruling marks the second time in the past year that a jury has found Trump responsible for defamatory statements and awarded substantial damages to E. Jean Carroll. Carroll had accused Trump of rape, and the jury’s decision underscores the severity of the consequences for his disparaging remarks and denial of the allegations.
Notably, this recent verdict far surpasses the previous award, with $65 million allocated for punitive damages alone. The total dollar figure is eight times higher than Carroll’s initial claim in her lawsuit, emphasizing the gravity of the jury’s decision in holding Trump accountable for his actions.
