A federal jury said he should pay her $5 million in total damages, a verdict that could further complicate the former president's election bid in 2024.

The jury, which deliberated fewer than three hours, opted not to find Trump liable for rape but rather sexual abuse and forcible touching that injured Carroll.

Trump is likely to appeal the verdict, saying on his Truth Social website that he still has "no idea" who Carroll is. "This verdict is a disgrace," the former president said in an all-caps post.

    1. Just because someone claims Christian doesn’t mean they follow the edicts. Just makes the whole look bad

  2. Get out your checkbooks, the self professed billionaire is going to be crying to you for money.

  3. One each of such shameful cases for both ends of the American political spectrum. Presidents indeed!!!!!!!!! It’s a tie now, GOP and DEM!!! Your crime, your sin, your shame!!!!!!
