A federal jury on Friday said Donald Trump must pay E. Jean Carroll a total of $83.3 million in damages for defaming her in statements he made as president after the writer said he had raped her in a New York department store in the 1990s.

Trump was not in court for the reading of the unanimous verdict on compensatory and punitive damages by the anonymous jury at 4:40 p.m.

There is a way to stand up to someone like Donald Trump who cares more about wealth, fame, and power than respecting the law."

Jurors awarded Carroll $7.3 million for compensatory damages for emotional harm, and another $11 million for compensatory damages to her reputation.

Trump so far has not received much help from appeals courts in challenging the two separate lawsuits by Carroll before they went to trial.

Trump last year posted $5.6 million as security while he appeals the verdict in the prior sex abuse and defamation case.

"What remains for you to decide," the judge said, is whether "Mr. Trump acted maliciously when he made his two statements" about Carroll. »
