Jurors have reached a verdict in a lawsuit accusing former U.S. president Donald Trump of raping advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.
Jurors reached a verdict Tuesday in the lawsuit accusing former President Donald Trump of raping advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996.Word of the verdict emerged just a few hours after the jury began deliberating in the, which alleges Trump raped Carroll in a luxury Manhattan department store in 1996.
Kaplan told jurors that the first question on the verdict form will be to decide whether they think there is more than a 50% chance that Trump raped Carroll inside a store dressing room. If they answer yes, they will then decide whether compensatory and punitive damages should be awarded. Meanwhile, Trump posted a new message on social media, complaining that he is now awaiting the jury's decision "on a False Accusation." He said he is "not allowed to speak or defend myself, even as hard nosed reporters scream questions about this case at me."
Tacopina told the jury in closing arguments Monday that Carroll's account is too far fetched to be believed. He said she made it up to fuel sales of a 2019 memoir in which she first publicly revealed her claims and to disparage Trump for political reasons. Carroll, 79, testified that she had a chance encounter with Trump at the Bergdorf Goodman store across the street from Trump Tower. She said it was a lighthearted interaction in which they teased each other about trying on a piece of lingerie before Trump became violent inside a dressing room.
