ANNOTATION: A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996. The jury awarded her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House. Jurors rejected Carroll’s claims that she was raped, but found Trump liable for sexual abuse and for defaming Carroll after she made her allegations public. Trump, who did not attend the trial, has insisted he never sexually assaulted Carroll or even knew her. The verdict was announced Tuesday in a federal courtroom in New York City on the first day of jury deliberations.
