A jury finds Trump liable for battery and defamation in E. Jean Carroll trial Enlarge this image toggle caption Seth Wenig/AP Seth Wenig/AP NEW YORK — A federal jury has found former President Donald Trump liable for battery and defamation in the lawsuit brought by writer E. Jean Carroll, who says he raped her in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s. Trump repeatedly denied the claims — including, famously, calling Carroll "not my type" — and he accused her of making up the story in order to sell more books. "I am here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it didn't happen," Carroll said on the stand. Tacopina repeated Trump's belief that it was not possible for the former president to receive a "fair trial" in New York City, where he won just 23% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election.
