Original Note:
The jury found that Trump had maliciously damaged Carroll’s reputation in 2019 after she went public. It is not accurate to say that Trump was not allowed to defend himself. He was represented by lawyers throughout the trial and was present for closing arguments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Jean_Carroll_v._Donald_J._Trump https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-68109585?src_origin=BBCS_BBC https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/donald-trump-hook-883-million-defamation-damages-106735937 https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/01/29/dismantling-trumps-empire-would-stand-alone-under-ny-fraud-law/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/donald-trump-legal-cases-charges/675531/
