Donald Trump was ordered to pay $83 million in compensation on Friday, January 25, for defamation against an American journalist, who had accused him of rape. The former president immediately denounced a “witch hunt”.
83.3 million dollars: this is the compensation that Donald Trump, former president of the United States and candidate in the Republican primary, is ordered to pay to Elizabeth Jean Carroll, an author and former journalist, for having defamed her. During his mandate, the former tenant of the White House had denied having raped her in a department store in Manhattan (New York, United States), in 1996.
Four other separate criminal charges
He assures that Elizabeth Jean Carroll wanted to advertise her new book. Donald Trump’s defense is now contesting the decision and will appeal. The victim, for his part, relates a “great victory for all women who stand up when they are knocked down”. In addition to this case, the former US president is the subject of four separate criminal charges.
