E Jean Carroll leaves courthouse smiling after Trump found liable of sexual abuse

Donald Trump sexually abused the magazine writer E Jean Carroll and defamed her, a jury decided on Tuesday night, ordering the former US president to pay her $5 million in damages.

However, the civil jury in New York rejected the writer’s claim that Mr Trump raped her.

It was another legal setback for the former US president as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
