he still raped me. that sort of encapsulated the back and forth of that whole cross-examination. she didn t back down. she cried. she was emotional. she remembered details. sixth floor, lingerie department. the jury again based on the preponderance of evidence not beyond a reasonable doubt found her more credible and on the other hand, you have former president trump coming to testify may or may not have made a difference but he did testify in that deposition. in the access hollywood tape. they heard his side of the story. they saw him. they were able to assess his demeanor. in that deposition. they know him although they were told to put their political allegiances to the side. but he was there. they took a measure of him and they found him essentially liable for just about everything here. we have that deposition. we ll play it in a moment. just to bring you back into that
wasn t applicable to her circumstances. i m expecting a verdict for carroll today. we ll see what happens. the jury has just been called to order. the verdict is being read. we re going to get it any moment now. lisa, when we re considering what donald trump is being accused of here and what he could be found liable for, we re talking about battery, defamation and damages. how much the jury thinks that e. jean carroll should be awarded if they find carroll did these things to compensate her. that number, do we have an estimate of how high that number of could go? i do and i don t. carroll s lawyers put on an expert who s a professor of markets and social media and she estimated to repair carroll s reputation, it would cost somewhere between $350,000 and
so we have a verdict today on the e. jean carroll case. i m not sure if she was on anyone s bingo card even a few months ago as a case we might see or that we were anticipating in the early parts of this year. but we still have the georgia case. we still have the alvin bragg case. we still have the classified documents case at mar-a-lago, and the january 6th case. so what is your expectation for how the next few months and the rest of this year is going to go, joyce? right. so this will be a litigation heavy year for donald trump. and unlike this case, katie, which was a civil case, the cases you re identifying are all criminal cases. and the difference obviously is at the end of those cases that trump is held accountable, he faces a prison sentence not just a significant fine like the $5 million in damages that were awarded to carroll in this case. but also that litigation becomes cumulative.
sexual assault allegations. she said the attention shouldn t be about the past, but it s about what risk he poses to the american democracy and to our institutions going forward and now you have a clear cut example based off a jury s conclusion that he in fact sexually abused a woman. so for donald trump, tomorrow night, he s going to be here in a televised town hall, hour long. he is going to be taking questions from republican and independent voters and the question is how does he respond. earlier today, he put on a social media post that he was forced to be silent. that he wasn t given the opportunity to defend himself and the carroll case, his defense attorney made the decision not to bring him to the stand here. but the question is does he even attempt to answer these questions and how does he try to somehow turn a very difficult
and our justice system. donald trump didn t even have enough respect to show up, look you in the eye and deny an assault he knows happened just as you do. i thought that was extremely powerful. they exploited the heck out of the fact that donald trump, even despite his promises to the irish media, never came to confront carroll by sitting in the courtroom. so the jury is in the room. the judge has asked the jury if they ve reached a verdict. they said yes. he says please pass the envelope. the clerk will publish the verdict. and we re going to get it any moment now. i see the cursor moving to the verdict form. once i have it, i m going to tell you. i ll keep looking down. but just talk about, lisa, one more time. hold on. number one, did donald trump rape e. jean carroll, the answer
