Episode Details

A Manhattan federal jury found former President Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation in the E. Jean Carroll case and awarded her $5 million in damages. Trump called the verdict in the civil case a “disgrace.” Carroll alleged Trump raped her in a New York City department store in the mid-1990s then defamed her when he denied it. Jessica Leeds testified during the trial that a young Trump groped her on a flight back in the 1970s. She joins AC360 to discuss the verdict and says she’s “very pleased” with the jury’s decision.
