- A jury said that Donald Trump should pay $83.3 million in damages Friday, an eye-popping sum that marks the sharpest legal setback for a former president now entangled in multiple criminal and civil cases while he campaigns for the White House.
- The verdict was the second time over the past year that a jury has awarded E. Jean Carroll millions of dollars in damages from Trump. She hailed Friday's decision as a "huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down."
- The former president was not present as the verdict was read, having departed the Manhattan courthouse at around 4 p.m. ET. In a social media post, Trump derided the verdict as "absolutely ridiculous."
- Carroll, a former magazine columnist, alleged Trump raped her in a department store in the mid-1990s and then defamed her when he denied her claim.
