Donald Trump's lawyer said he plans to appeal after a jury in a civil case found the former US president sexually abused a magazine columnist in a New York department store in the 1990s.

Mr Trump was found not liable for raping E Jean Carroll in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman.

The jury also found Mr Trump liable for defamation for calling the writer's accusations "a hoax and a lie".

The Manhattan jury ordered Mr Trump to pay her about $5m (£4m) in damages.

After the verdict, Mr Trump, 76, posted on his social media platform Truth Social in all capital letters: "I have absolutely no idea who this woman is."
