The verdict comes after a dramatic day in court that included the former president storming out of the courtroom during Carroll's closing argument.

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.

    So can someone who knows tell me: how likely is it that she collects this?

        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.

      According to other reporting, unless Trump successfully appeals it’s very likely he will need to pay, and hewould be forced to sell assets if necessary. Even if he had some success on appeal, he’d still have to pay something. Although, no one was mentioning him declaring himself supreme leader if elected.

      Trump will tie it up in court until they’re both dead.
