Read the full jury verdict form from the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial

Trump’s legal team did not call any witnesses during the trial, and Trump himself did not testify in court during the trial.

Jury Verdict Form from the E. Jean Carroll Defamation Trial

A federal jury on Tuesday found that Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused the former president of attacking her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.

The verdict in the civil trial marks the first time that Trump, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women, has been held legally responsible for sexual assault. And it adds fresh tarnish to the former president’s reputation as he seeks to regain the White House amid a tide of legal troubles.
