Likely Impact Of The Trump Ruling?

The fallout is continuing after former US President Donald Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.

A New York jury in the civil trial ordered him to pay more than $5 million in damages. His lawyers have said he'll appeal.
