And so i think it s important i don t know it s going to change his behavior, but i think for the rest of us, and i think that there will be other supporters of trump and hopefully other republicans who have to say something about this and will be pushed to say something about this. and i m glad to see asa hutchinson saying what he said because it s absolutely true. i want to show one more moment that, again, now we can sort of talk about what was imfactful and what wasn t, and we won t know the full answer to this question unless and until this story tells us, but this was a piece of tape from his deposition that seemed to blow out of the water the trump defense and we ve heard it for jessica leads. we ve heard it for e. jean carroll, we ve heard it for a lot of women, she s not my type. he mixes her up with his second wife. watch. i don t even know who the woman let s say i don t know who it s marla. ....
Hi, everyone. it s 4:00 in new york, an extraordinary and historic moment unfolding today in a manhattan courthouse where a jury of six men and three women ruled that the disgraced, impeached, indicted ex-president and now also liable for sexually abusing writer e. jean carroll inside a luxury manhattan department store in the mid-1990s. trump was also found liable for defamatory statements he made toward carroll including calling her claims a hoax and a con job. in total this jury awarded the former journalist nearly $5 million in compensatory and punitive damages. the jury did not find trump liable for raping e. jean carroll. it s the only claim on the ten count verdict that went in his favor. while the jury s unanimous verdict was decided in less than three hours it carries no criminal implications for donald trump, it is nonetheless a ....
Reid hoffman who ms. carroll was not candid about when she testified under oath in the deposition that should come into this case. the access hollywood should not have come into this success. there s plenty of issues to appeal, and look, that s what happens, right? we re in one sense gratified. and i know some people in this camp are very happy that, you know, the rape claim was rejected, but, you know, i m not. and i am happy about that certainly, but i m not happy he was found liable for anything because he shouldn t have been. how is mr. trump taking everything? he s strong. okay, that s joe tacopina. i think sometimes when you cover the trump story long enough the truth seeps out. quote, i m happy donald trump was not branded a rapist. at the end of the day i m not ....
So it remains to be seen whether this has a real effect. and of course this may just be one of the sort of tumbling blocks that the former president is facing and an incredibly significant one and incredibly personal one. because there s a lot of women out there and even men a lot of women and daughters and mothers who are very sensitive now to this topic as they should be. as promised and previewed i want to add to our conversation, a law professor at the university of utah and first amendment scholar. i want to get your reaction to these decisions by this jury. did ms. carroll prove by a preponderance of evidence that trump s statement was defamatory? yes. did ms. carroll prove by clear and convincing evidence that trump s statement was false, that trump it was statement was made with actual malice? yes and yes. ....
Agreed. and the other thing i ll say is that when you ve seen lots of reporters who have gone out and talked to trump supporters and many will admit that he lies or that he fabricates or he exaggerates and they ll like him anyway because they say they like his policies. they say there s a difference between maga and trump. they can believe in his policies and not like the characteristics of the man. so it s not necessarily inconsistent that a juror who believes that trump, you know, had policies that juror agrees with would still think, well, here s a case where trump lied. and remember the lies were not just that he didn t sexually abuse ms. carroll, it s that he didn t even know that woman. he had nothing to do with her, and by the way, she s not his type. i want to go back to everything that was at stake here. i think anyone that had watched ....
