A jury in Manhattan on Tuesday found former President Trump liable of battery and defamation in connection with claims brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
The jury found that Trump did not rape Carroll but sexually abused her and awarded damages of $2 million in compensatory damages and $20,000 in punitive damages for battery.
Carroll was seated between two of her attorneys, Roberta Kaplan and Shawn Crowley, as the verdict was read. At one point Crowley put her arm around Carroll, who held hands with Kaplan.
Early in the trial the judge had admonished the defense over Trump's social media posts about Carroll and her allegations. Judge Lewis Kaplan did not address this most recent post but previously indicated that if Trump wanted to speak about the case he should testify under oath.
