BREAKING: A Jury has found former President Donald Trump liable for battery and defamation in the 1996 attack of E. Jean Carroll, but has rejected her rape claim against him.

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.

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.

Carroll testified during the trial that she ran into Trump near the Bergdorf Goodman entrance and that he asked her to help him buy some lingerie as a gift. The two were laughing and joking, she said, when he led her into a dressing room, shut the door, shoved her up against a wall, and sexually assaulted her.

Carroll's attorneys juxtaposed Trump's mistaken identification with his remarks on the infamous 2005"Access Hollywood" tape, on which he is heard saying about women that"I just start kissing them ... I don't even wait" and that when you're a star you can"grab them by the p----." Trump, who chose not to testify in his own defense, has previously denied the allegations from both women, as well as from Carroll.
