JUST IN: A jury has rejected a writer’s claim that Donald Trump raped her, but found him liable for battery in the 1996 attack. The jury awarded E. Jean Carroll at least $2 million.
NEW YORK — A jury has rejected a writer’s claim that Donald Trump raped her, but found him liable for battery in the 1996 attack.THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
If they believe Carroll, jurors can award compensatory and punitive damages. Trump, who did not attend the trial, has insisted he never sexually assaulted Carroll or even knew her. On defamation claims stemming from a statement Trump made on social media last October, Kaplan said jurors must be guided by a higher legal standard — clear and convincing evidence. He said they would have to agree it was “highly probable” that Trump’s statement was false and was made maliciously with deliberate intent to injure or out of hatred or ill will with reckless disregard for Carroll’s rights.
Trump never attended the trial, which is in its third week, and rejected an invitation to testify, which the judge extended through the weekend even after Trump’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, said Thursday that his client would not testify. “In a very real sense, Donald Trump is a witness against himself,” she said. “He knows what he did. He knows that he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll.”
