Donald Trump Ordered to Pay $5 Million in Sexual Abuse Case
A federal court in New York upheld a jury’s decision that Donald Trump must pay $5 million to E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation. The case revolves around an incident in the mid-1990s at a Bergdorf Goodman department store and Trump’s derogatory comments on social media. Although the jury did not rule that Trump committed rape, they awarded damages for sexual assault and defamation. Trump’s legal team argues the ruling should be overturned due to the inclusion of testimonies from other women accusing him of misconduct.
