Donald Trump is found guilty of sexual abuse, injury, and defamation in a civil trial:
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 when he called her a liar, ordering the former President to pay $5million in damages.
But they ruled after just three hours of deliberation that the evidence did not show that the former president had raped her.
Clown World is getting clownier and clownier by the day. But Trump can hardly complain. This is what happens when you chicken out at the Rubicon. It’s clearly been declared open season on him and he’s going to be found guilty of anything anyone can dream up and put before a jury of those who hate him.
The imaginary dialogue is risible. When people are retroactively writing their own lines, they can never resist making themselves sound smart, cool, and quippy.
She told the jury that she was on her way out of Bergdorf Goodman when she saw Trump coming in. ‘Hey you’re that advice columnist’, he told her. She fired back: ‘Hey you’re that real estate guy’.
The $2.7 million for defamation is particularly ridiculous. If I was able to collect $2.7 million from everyone who falsely called me a liar and worse, I’d be a billionaire.
