Yet, the Courts find that Elizabeth Warren who slandered a book on Vaccines and recommended that Sellers and buyers Censor it - shouldn’t have to face civil charges even though the Book was factually correct.

A jury has found that Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll.
The panel of six men and three women also found that Trump injured advice columnist Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and defamed her, ordering the former President to pay her $5million in damages.
Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct or assault by more than two dozen women, but this has so far been the only case to end up before a jury.
Carroll, 79, sued for battery under the Adult Survivors Act, a law passed in New York that allowed a one year window for sexual assault claims normally outside of the statute of limitations.
Her claim for defamation was based on statements made by Trump, 76, when he was President and posts to Truth Social, his own social network in which he called her a liar.
Over two weeks the jury heard emotional testimony from three accusers and two of Carroll's friends, among other witnesses, while Trump himself was a no show.

It’s his mouth every time. Maybe he can learn about being disciplined in his discussions.
Yes. Juries have often been a questionable factor when it came to these types of lawsuits. They tended to punish deep pockets, and it appears that they have done so again. Now, it appears that political philosophy is going to be a factor in certain jurisdictions, which means Trump was having to play with a stacked deck from the outset.
Sadly, he is impulsive and lacks self-control. Who cares if she is or is not her type? It's just not relevant.
But he did it his way, in describing the incident. I'm betting his legal team just cringed when they heard him say that.
Of course they will
And yes this was absolute bullshit and the left and media will beat it to death but it’s not a conviction and will almost certainly be appealed.
I’m goign to bet she never collects a dime in her lifetime.
Yes, everything about this case stinks. Charges from decades ago that were not made contemporaneously to the police. Difficult for anyone to defend against the charge like this. The question is how much will Americans believe this is part of Trump’s character, and how much of this is simply due to hating Trump. As there was no undeniable, truths, a stained dress, I think the charges should be dismissed, and ignored.
Or he could pay it and it’s over. His choice.
Jury didn’t care a damn thing about any ‘facts’. Disgusting pigs. There’s something really really wrong with the people of NY.
She has no date for this.
It doesn’t change what Congress should do to the Judge. Actually Trump should be running ADS looking for Victims of Sexual Battery by the judge, regardless of when it happened, I guarantee there are some 5th graders he sexually harassed during his school years..
Trump quietly backed Ronna SO he is at fault here we could have had Harmeet!!
That was the judge and jury’s mission.
Exactly! No more outsiders, you damn deplorables! You will like the media picks or ELSE!
it did....the guy just cant admit when hes wrong....the killer was when he stood by the ACCESS HOLLYWOOD tape....instead of saying what he did in 2016 when it first came out, he ignorantly stood by what he said. The guy just doesnt think.
Trump is serially bad at picking people.
Of course it’s BS. It has nothing to do with “defaming a woman”. The Democrat/Communist Party Left cares as much about women as communists care about workers. ... Just ask Riley Gaines.
Conservatives should flee from every liberal city in America. You can’t get a fair shake. It’s the same as blacks in the Jim Crow democrat south.
Things are bad when you are starting off with a NYC jury to begin with. Then you have a crooked judge who is making rulings that corrupt and slant the evidence to be against trump.
The fact is that there is no credible evidence. It is all based on “She said”. And there is plenty of reason to believe she made the entire thing up. She is not credible.
So much for the idea of needing real proof to convict someone of a crime. Then there is the thing about the statue of limitations. Which is the changing of the law after the fact. Another unconstitutional action.
The justice system has become totally corrupt.
The dollar amount is really just to pay her attorney costs. I can see Trump making her legal team spend another fortune on appeals.
You can’t convicted of anything in a Civil suit, only found liable financially. They don’t apply to laws regulating who can be on the ballot.
