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.
Her lawsuit was also entirely funded by Democrat… pic.twitter.com/8fTgMaI7Aj

How did they manage to prove that?
Now Trump gets to spike the football for a few days. Just in time for the CNN townhall. This is so unfair. They called him a rapist for months because of this BS
LOL, the same post over and over again. If you wait for something new to add, it might be a while.
The judge informed the jury before they went in for deliberations that kissing someone against their will would be grounds for finding Trump liable for sexual abuse, the evidence in the trial was he did kiss her from what I read.
It could all wrong, but that’s what the jury decided.
“Somebody please help me understand this”
She & Trump went in together allegedly, for allegedly kinky activity.
The activity got quite heated, allegedly.
Too heated for her taste, allegedly.
That shocked me too. How is that not illegal???
Time to prepare the notice of appeal.
Million ways to appeal that decision, but nothing will work unless they get a change in venue. I suggest Utica or the Capital District in New York.
Remember the original “Cape Fear” movie.
Robert Mitchum was too rough on a woman.
Gotta make hay while the sun shines, I suppose.
Not based on how the Judge instructed the jury, he told them before deliberations that kissing someone against their will could be used to find Trump liable.
It’s a civil trial the standard of evidence is different than a criminal trial.
Don’t forget Manhattan jury
I can only imagine
Black DMV employee tyoes
Upper west side Oy vey third Gen lefties
Hipsters brainwashed
It’s impossible
Don’t forget, in 1996.
You know I always thought that too. I recently looked up sexual battery & the definition differs by state. I was ALWAYS under the impression that it meant there had to be penetration.
Probably in Georgia over questioning the election, followed by one in Washington over documents from the Mar-a-lago raid.
By the end of the year Trump could be facing 3 criminal indictments and 1 civil verdict.
“Cady brutally rapes a young woman, Diane Taylor, when he brings her home, but neither the private eye nor Bowden can persuade her to testify.”

This is lawfare against a declared presidential candidate.
We do not have law in this country. We only have lawfare.
I don't recall that she established the "time of the assault". How could her friends corroborate a time that was never established?
“How is that not illegal???”
I wouldn’t doubt that it is
🥱 Next. I’m still voting for him!
