Can he still run in the next Presidential elections?

BREAKING
Trump defamed Carroll, jury finds
The jury finds Donald Trump defamed E Jean Carroll in an October 2022 post on Truth social in which he called her allegations a "con job".

He is told to pay $280,000 in punitive damages to Carroll for defamation.

Trump is not found liable of rape
We're learning details of the verdict in E Jean Carroll's case against Trump.

The jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse of E Jean Carroll as well as defamation, but they did not find Trump liable for rape.

Jury awards $5 million to Trump accuser
The jury has awarded E Jean Carroll a total of $5m (£4m) in damages for battery and defamation by Donald Trump.

This is the first time a US president has been found liable of sexual assault.

We will bring a full breakdown of these figures to you shortly.

The damages, explained
The jury has awarded E Jean Carroll a total of $5m (£4m) in damages.

Trump must pay Carroll $3m (£2.4m) in damages for defamation, and a further $2m (£1.6m) for battery, which includes the sexual assault she told the court happened in the 1990s.

Because this is a civil case, Carroll was able to sue Trump for damages. Jail time for the former president was never on the table as it was not a criminal case.

Trump reacts to verdict
Donald Trump has just reacted to the verdict, posting an all-caps message on his Truth social media platform.

"I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE - A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!", the former president said.

After the verdict was read, Judge Lewis Kaplan spent several minutes thanking jurors for their work, saying they had been torn from their lives to come to court and reach a hard decision.

The identities of the nine-member jury were kept secret due to privacy concerns.

Kaplan said once the jurors left the courtroom, it was up to them to decide whether they continued to remain anonymous.

“My advice to you is not to identify yourselves, not now, and not for a long time,” he told them.

Kaplan said members were not allowed to reveal the identities of their fellow jurors.

“And with that, I discharge you,” he said.

Surely all this means he can't be President again?

Fingers, Toes, Legs and Spleen crossed!

I seem to remember when he was on the  campaign trail  5 years ago he was caught on sound making derogatory remarks about a woman's anatomy. Grab her by the..... rings a bell.    What a guy

Here it is.

Arrogance is what he is full of.

It’s very sad that he ever became the US president.

I’ve not read this well-reviewed book by British political journalist, Isabel Hardman, but I’d be interested to see why candidates get in despite being so obviously flawed.

The fall out.

What a pompous nutter

The 4 million he has be ordered to pay her is a drop in the ocean to him, but he can't
afford to pay up, it would tarnish his reputation further. Some of his followers, will no doubt stick up for him. They are convinced he is their saviour. To me he is arrogant, and thinks he is superior to everyone else. He has no respect for women. All his money shouldn't allow him to get away with things like this. I'd hazard a guess that there will be more to come.

CNN’s move to give Donald Trump a platform to repeat debunked lies about elections and air his problematic views is being widely criticised by political commentators.

The network’s own anchors were among those responding to Wednesday’s town hall event, as Jake Tapper lashed out at the former president for calling a “Black law enforcement officer a thug” and making fun of E Jean Carroll’s sexual assault.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Michael Fanone criticised the decision to host the event – the former tweeting on the night that CNN should be “ashamed”.

Donald Trump cannot find a private company to guarantee the $464m (£365m) he has been ordered to pay in a New York civil fraud case.

The former president must either pay the full amount in cash or secure a bond in order to continue his appeal.

Mr Trump's lawyers said on Monday that securing a bond of that size was a "practical impossibility".
