Today's cover: Jurors reach verdict in E. Jean Carroll’s rape case against Donald Trump
— and ordered to pay more than $5 million in damages — by a federal jury in Carroll’s lawsuit accusing him of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room decades ago.
The nine-person panel — three women and six men — reached the decision Tuesday after three hours of deliberations that began Tuesday following eight days of trial in Manhattan federal court. The jurors were tasked with determining whether the 45th president is liable for battery in the “Ask E. Jean” advice columnist’s case accusing him of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman fitting room, most likely in 1996.
They also needed to determine whether Trump, 76, defamed Carroll when he publicly denied her allegations, claimed he had never met her and accused her of making up the story for political reasons and to help push sales of her book. If the jury determines Trump is liable, it can award Carroll, 79, whatever compensatory and punitive damages the panel sees fit.
