Glad for the verdict . Finally something has stuck to Teflon-Don.
Bring on more lawsuits by his other victims.

I'm sure since they said he wasn't liable for rape that he's going to frame it as he shouldn't be liable for any damages.

I don't see why it wasn't yes for rape though if they believed everything else. Very odd.

That is odd

You can be sexually assaulted that does not include rape. Not odd at all.

I think it was Sexual harassment they found him liable for, not SA.

Okay, I see why. Lisa Rubin said just now that Carroll testified she couldn't be sure that (a bit graphic here, sorry) he assaulted her with his genitals because couldn't see, but did know he used his hand. So that makes sense if they didn't want to go with that count.

AP news:
NEW YORK (AP) — A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House.

The verdict was announced in a federal courtroom in New York City on the first day of jury deliberations. Jurors rejected Carroll’s claims that she was raped, but found Trump liable for sexually abusing her.

Hours earlier, U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan read instructions on the law to the nine-person jury before the panel began discussing Carroll’s allegations of battery and defamation shortly before noon.

Trump, who did not attend the trial, has insisted he never sexually assaulted Carroll or even knew her.

He lost his job, #45 became president and created chaos. IMO

Yes I understand I misspoke.

She never asked for damages anyway. The 5m is a cherry on top from the verdict.

Here we go .... Jury finds Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll

In a fiery post to Trump's social media app Truth Social he wrote in all caps, 'I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE - A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!'
