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.
I overshot the damages award in a previous comment I made. I thought it was going to be closer to $150 million, but $83 million is still substantial. Plus there is a strong likelihood E. Jean Carroll and Robbie Kaplan could sue Donald Trump for defamation again for all the things he posted during this trial.
Well he a billionaire so $83 million is a drop in the bucket. He’s probably got that much as change in the couch /s

And themselves! If they’re working on contingency they’ve got 8 figures coming their way too.

In late stage capitalism, having a billion and owing three billion means you in effect still have a billion.
It’s not like with normal people who have to subtract debt from assets and actually pay what we owe.
So yeah, he’s a billionaire in all ways that affect him and will be until he dies, which can’t happen soon enough.
