A former president must pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in a defamation lawsuit, including $7.3 million in compensatory damages, $11 million in reputation restoration money, and $65 million in punitive damages.

Donald Trump, found liable for assaulting E. Jean Carroll, plans to appeal and calls the verdict “absolutely ridiculous.” He criticizes the legal system and vows to fight what he calls a “political weapon” aimed at him and the Republican party.

Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s niece, writes in her latest Substack post titled “NOW: Donald owes $83 million to E. Jean Carroll,” that today is one of the worst days in Donald’s life and one of the best days for justice. She believes this case signifies one of the few instances where Trump has been made to answer for his behavior.

Mary Trump voices a sentiment of hope in the wake of the E. Jean Carroll verdict. She expresses her belief that Donald is finally facing the consequences of his actions and that there is hope for justice to be served.
