Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

      Didn’t know that, so that’s hopeful. I always just assume there’s ways for people like this to string it out and avoid paying.

      Actually, the court got $5.5 million. It’s being held until the appeal process is completed. Then Carroll will get that plus interest.
