A U.S. jury has ordered former President Donald Trump to pay $83 million in defamation damages to journalist E. Jean Carroll. The decision, which took the jury less than three hours to reach, includes compensation for emotional harm and reputational repair, as well as a significant sum intended to deter Trump from further defamatory actions against Carroll. This ruling comes as Trump, a billionaire, continues to campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, using his legal challenges as a rallying point for his supporters.
