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.
BREAKING: A Manhattan jury just found Donald Trump liable in a civil lawsuit for E. Jean Carroll's claims of abuse and defamation but REJECTS her claim that he raped her in the 90s.
She's the lady who said "rape is sexy" on CNN.

Still waiting to hear what evidence that was.
Crickets?
I am a female. I am a Trump supporter. That said....
The female species...some are prone in this direction, and men are slow to realize.
These women want the attention..noticed.. rich man=good catch. The woman calls the shots... yes, no.
This woman didnt deserve a dime. Men do what they are supposed to do with a comeon.
Women playing their games, obvious to other females.... howbmuch did she think she could get?
Sorry.. she knew what she was doing... not a dime!
Exactly. The Plaintiff introduced evidence while Trump chose not to.
*******
The “evidence” of the charge of battery in this corrupt civil lawsuit was:
1) Carroll making up a story that this happened in 1995 or 1996.
2) She say she told two of her buddies the story, at least one of those buddies testified on video or maybe live.
Who knows? The reporting has been terrible.
Its also unclear if all three women are using the 1995 & 1996 two year time frame, or maybe one of them could be more specific & “narrow it down.”
Like I said the reporting sucks in this bogus lawsuit.
You are missing the point, Trump has been found liable, that is not going change unless an appeals court in NY says so, ask yourself is that likely to happen ??
All Trump can do at this point is appeal and hope for the best, if the evidence isn’t there, then an Appeals Court is the only hope for Trump.
Verdict: Trump not guilty of rape but found guilty of being Trump.
Carroll filed only a civil case. She could have filed a Criminal case...but she would have lost hands down. It’s NY...the jury figures $5 million to Trump is nothing...Convict!!.
A successful appeal is a slam dunk if a case was decided on 30 year old hearsay alone.
At least it should be.
I like the way you think.
I hope you are right, but this is NY and a he’s currently under indictment in a NY criminal court.
I think everyone who supports Trump should hope for the best but expect the worst.
BTW, the lawfare against Trump isn’t over, I fully expect at least two more Trump criminal indictments.
Liable by a “preponderance of the evidence.”
What evidence?
The only hope for Trump?
Not hardly.
Do you know what he knows on the bidens... long time coming, but dont EVER count Trump out.
He’s way ahead of most.. he will have the last word..
They want a criminal ..treasonous... and go after the honest patriot.
Look at the border.. does it please you? Does it help this country?
Everything okay with bidenbarry in there?
This is extremely generous spin. The libtards are celebrating this travesty of a verdict.
I would argue that with regards to Trump, forget about what the Bidens have done because it doesn’t matter.
Trump’s criminal indictment, Civil judgement and any future criminal indictments will be decided in a court of law and has nothing to do with the Bidens.
The actions of the Biden Clan are clearly criminal and probably treasonous but it’s a totally different situation than Trump’s issues.
“They also found he defamed her.”
That fact that the jury said he did not rape her means she defamed Trunk with a false allegation of rape. Trump can now sue her for defamation.
This was the judge and jury trying to find Trump liable of a lesser claim that might hold up. This should get thrown out on appeal.
should be appealed.
will likely be appealed
will likely be overturned
will likely charge the frivolous client with costs due to her receiving financial payments from the DNC to run their feaux witch-hunt.
Here’s my problem...why tell 2?? Sounds better in court??
