In late news, a New York jury has decided that previous U.S. President Donald Trump should pay $83.3 million for slandering journalist E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when he was in office.

Trump, who intends to pursue the choice, marked the case a witch chase and reprimanded the decision as “totally crazy.” The compensatory harms are expected to address the mischief caused to Carroll’s standing and close to home prosperity. Also, the reformatory harms mean to deter Trump from additional deriding remarks.
