A civil jury in New York City has found President Donald Trump not guilty of raping E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room nearly three decades ago. The jury found Trump liable for forcibly touching, sexually abusing and battery of Carroll. They also found he defamed her. Trump will be ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages.
President Trump denied all of the charges and accusations. Further, he maintains he never knew or met Carroll.
"It's the most ridiculous, disgusting story. It's just made up," Trump said during his deposition in the case.
Trump's legal team has vowed to appeal the verdict.
Carroll's lawsuit against Trump was funded by Democratic mega donor Reid Hoffman.
Earlier this month, Carroll’s lawyers disclosed to Trump’s team that Carroll “now recalls that at some point, her counsel secured additional funding from a nonprofit organization to offset certain expenses and legal fees.”
Billionaire Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn who has donated millions to Democrats and liberal causes, primarily funded that nonprofit, court documents show.

They couldn’t even get a TDS jury to say ‘guilty’? Hilarious.

Media coverage ending in 3, 2, 1 ...
Trump might have to pay some lawyers $5M to appeal the case, but he won’t pay her a penny.
“Quick Robin, to the Memory Hole!”
It’s a civil case, there is no, “not guilty.”

You'd think cognitive dissonance would set in at some point.
Half the population is below average, and reporters seem to come almost exclusively from the left side of the curve.
I guess you didn’t read past the headline.
PURE BULLSHIT.
She nice this wasn’t a criminal case he should have testified and charmed the Sox off the jury.
I guess you didn’t read past the headline.
YAY !
I thought the terms “guilty” and “not guilty” only were applicable in criminal trials. Wasn’t this a civil trial?
I guess you didn’t read past the headline.
I did.
Is there something you’d like to add?
I guess you didn’t read past the headline.
it’s a civil case. Not guilty happens in criminal cases. Trump lost bigly. $ 5 mill. She got to tell her story; her friends corroborated that she told them at the time of the assault. Trump provided no real defense except to trash the messenger. That didn’t work.
“Carroll’s lawsuit against Trump was funded by Democratic mega donor Reid Hoffman”
There’s the REAL damn story right there......not that anyone will pursue it.
The whole thing make me wanna vomit.
