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.

    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.
