(CNN) — A federal jury in Manhattan, New York City, on Tuesday convicted former US President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting journalist E.J. Carroll in a department store dressing room in 1996, and ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million in damages for defaming her.
On the other hand, Trump said, through videos he posted on his “Truth Social” platform: “What can you expect from a judge who hates Trump, appointed by Clinton, and who did his best to make sure that the outcome of this trial was as negative as it could be?” To a jury and control of an anti-Trump district, which is probably the worst place in the United States for me to get a fair trial.”
He added, “We will appeal against this verdict. It is a disgrace. I don’t even know who this woman is. I have no idea who she is and where she came from.”
He continued, “This is a political witch hunt, and somehow, we are going to have to fight these things. We cannot let our country go to this precipice, this is a shame, and this was an unfair trial.”
