Donald Trump was ordered on Friday January 25 to pay more than $83 million in damages for defamation. In front of him, Elizabeth Jean Carroll, a woman he had sexually assaulted in 1996.
83.3 million dollars: this is the compensation that Donald Trump, former president and candidate in the Republican primary, is ordered to pay Elizabeth Jean Carroll, an author and former journalist, for defaming 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’s defense Trump 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.
