NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- A jury has found former President Donald Trump liable for battery and defamation in the E. Jean Carroll case.
Carroll, who brought the lawsuit in November, alleged that Trump defamed her in his 2022 Truth Social post by calling her allegations"a Hoax and a lie" and saying"This woman is not my type!" when he denied her claim that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.
Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by about two dozen women, and has denied all such claims. Carroll's battery allegation was the first to make it before a jury. Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, told reporters on her way out of the courthouse,"We are very happy." "He just decided not to be here. He never looked you in the eye and denied raping Ms. Carroll. Never did that," Carroll's attorney, Michael Ferrara, told jurors during the trial.
Carroll's attorneys seized on Trump's deposition last year when he was shown a 1980s-era photograph of Carroll, her then-husband John Johnson, Trump, and his then-wife Ivana Trump -- and he momentarily mistook Carroll for his second wife, Marla Maples."The truth is that E. Jean Carroll, a former cheerleader and Ms. Indiana, was exactly Donald Trump's type," Carroll's attorneys argued in court.
Jessica Leeds testified that she was seated next to Trump in the first-class section of a flight to New York in 1979,"when all of a sudden Trump decided to kiss me and grope me." She said that she freed herself when Trump started putting his hand up her skirt, and went"storming back" to the coach section.
