Former US President Donald Trump was ordered Friday by a New York civil court to pay $83.3 million to author E. Jean Carroll for defaming her, amid accusations of rape in the 1990s.
This astronomical amount, decided by the popular jury in the civil trial brought by former journalist E. Jean Carroll, 80, against Donald Trump, 77, breaks down into $65 million in damages, $11 million compensation for damage to reputation and 7.3 million in financial compensation, report American media present in the courtroom, including the New York Times and CNN.
“It’s totally ridiculous,” reacted the Republican on his social network Truth Social, once again accusing the judicial authorities of leading a “witch hunt” against him and announcing his desire to appeal this conviction.
