Donald Trump has been ordered to cough up US$83.3 million ($126.7 million) to writer E Jean Carroll after she won her second legal case against the former US president. In a case tried last year, Carroll accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the 90s (which he denied) and defaming her when the allegations went public. She won and was awarded US$5 million – which sent Trump OTT, and he had some nasty things to say about her again… She sued him again – and won again. “This is a great victory for every woman who stands up when she’s been knocked down and a huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down,” Carroll said on Saturday. Trump posted “THIS IS NOT AMERICA!” to his social media channel – he and his legal team have promised to appeal both judgments. Until those are resolved, Carroll won’t see a cent.
