Another Loss For Trump: Judge Rules His Comments About E. Jean Carroll Were Defamatory

Former President Donald Trump is liable for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll when he made comments in 2019 opposing her allegations that he sexually assaulted her, a judge ruled Wednesday, which means an upcoming trial in the case will only determine how much Trump has to pay in damages—on top of the $5 million a jury already forced Trump to pay Carroll earlier this year.
