A jury has ordered former President Donald Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million in the second defamation lawsuit.
The jury found Trump should pay Carroll compensatory damages of $18.3 million — $11 million to fund a reputational repair campaign and $7.3 million for the emotional harm caused by Trump’s 2019 public statements.
Trump should also pay $65 million in punitive damages for acting maliciously in making the statements about Carroll, CNN reports.
The total sum is added to the $5 million that a separate jury awarded Carroll last year they found the former president liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
