In a major legal blow to former President Donald Trump, a jury has ordered him to pay $83.3 million to E Jean Carroll for defamation. This verdict comes after Carroll previously won $5 million in a separate trial. Trump, who called the ruling 'absolutely ridiculous,' plans to appeal the decision, labeling it as part of a 'witch hunt' against him. The jury's decision includes $65 million in punitive damages on top of more than $18 million in compensatory damages.

E Jean Carroll, known for accusing Trump of rape in a New York Magazine article, has been awarded a substantial amount for damages caused by Trump's defamatory statements. The verdict has stirred controversy, with Trump leaving the courtroom during closing arguments. The legal battle between Trump and Carroll seems far from over as both parties stand firm in their positions.

In a surprising turn of events, the jury's ruling against Trump marks a significant victory for Carroll and sets a precedent for holding powerful figures accountable for their actions. This case highlights the ongoing legal challenges faced by Trump post-presidency and sheds light on the implications of defamation in the public arena.

Roberta Kaplan, Carroll's lawyer and a prominent figure in the legal community, has been instrumental in Carroll's case against Trump. Kaplan's involvement showcases the importance of legal representation in high-profile lawsuits. Additionally, Nikki Haley's criticism of Trump post-verdict reflects the divisive opinions surrounding the case, indicating the broader impact of this legal battle on the political landscape.
