According to the CNN report, the former US president and Republican preferred candidate for the US 2024 presidential election, Donald J. Trump has encountered more troubles in his campaign pursuit for the White House. This was coming after the judge handling his trial ordered the politician to pay $83.3m defamatory compensation to E. Jean Carroll. The verdict was the second time over the past year that a jury has awarded E. Jean Carroll millions of dollars in damages from Trump for his defamatory statements disparaging her and denying her rape allegations.
Meanwhile, these allegations become a burden for the former president. Taking a look into it, the politician supporters are upsurging daily. If the verdict becomes evidence of reality, definitely, it will definitely affect his popularity and campaign in the country’s upcoming election. Friday’s verdict, although open be appealed, comes ahead of a judge’s expected decision later this month in Trump’s civil fraud trial that could threaten the former president’s business empire, along with the four criminal indictments that are awaiting trial and a US Supreme Court hearing on whether the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination can appear on the ballot.
If you can remember in over the past year, Trump has railed against the prosecutors who have investigated and charged him multipleallegations brought. The plaintiffs who have sued him and the judges who have handled his trials cases are now spots in his weakness. The nine-person jury didn’t blink an eye. However, it awarded Carroll $18.3 million in compensatory damages. It was the punitive damages, however, that landed Carroll such an astronomical sum: $65 million. During the trial, Carroll’s lawyers told the jury that Trump should be punished with a large number in damages so that it actually gets him to stop his defamatory behavior. But these things are really accruing hindrances politically in the forthcoming election.
