US jury says Trump must pay additional $83 million in defamation case

NEW YORK — A jury has awarded an additional $83.3 million to former advice columnist E. Jean Carroll, who says former US president Donald Trump damaged her reputation by calling her a liar after she accused him of sexual assault.

The verdict is the second time in nine months that a jury addressed Carroll’s claim that Trump assaulted her in a New York City department store in 1996.

Another jury last May found Trump liable for sexual abuse and ordered him to pay $5 million. This defamation trial was over things Trump said about Carroll while he was president.

Trump continues to insist he was falsely accused.
