stoynoff, one of the witnesses in the e. jean carroll case. tonight, on all in the verdict is in. if he can grab women by the [bleep] we ll, if you look over the last million years, i guess that has been largely true, not always, but largely true, unfortunately, unfortunately. a jury finds donald trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation tonight vindication for e. jean carroll it hurt and it was against my will the fallout for the republican front runner obviously very happy that donald trump was and the reaction from the republican party. e. jean carroll case? plus, federal charges for freshman congressman and syria lie or george santos. i am not a fraud, i m not a cartoon character. i am not some mythical creature that was invented. the latest on that wind all in starts right now good evening, from new york, i m chris hayes the leading republican candidate for president was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation today in federa
So, when it came out as rapidly as it did, and the first question to the jury, in order for trump to be found liable of battery, he had to wear or sexually abuse her or forcibly touch her, one of the above. the answer to rape was no. the answer to sexual abuse was yes. and then, after that, it was very quick with the defamation charges, with the damages totaling $5 million. that was pretty quiet, although there was a lawyer of lawsuits from a firm representing carroll that and there was this moment of sort of relief because it gave them this really, you know, tough cross-examination. why didn t you go to the police? she said, i didn t go to the police because i would not have gotten justice, basically. so, to go full circle from that questioning to actually getting a jury to agree with her i mean, we all remember when that access hollywood tape came out during the campaign people thought, oh, that s it for trump. since then, as you know, dozens of women have made this
yes. and i think that clip credibility certain played some role with the jury. it s one of the things to now people can accuse anyone of anything. it s really not true. e. jean carroll was willing to go into court, under oath, under penalty of perjury, subject to cross-examination, and to go out there and relive this in front of everyone i am just sort of in awe of how she has conducted herself throughout this whole thing, and the incredible fortitude and stamina and bravery that it took to do. i think that was the challenge of this trial, was that the defense was, well, she s a liar, and that she was, per the was a hoax. actual malice. that s right. by a higher standard of evidence, by clear and convincing evidence that even the sexual abuse that s a great point as well. andrea bernstein and jane manning, thank you appreciate it. thank you. and a little bit i will speak to a key witness in that trial that found today the president was natasha stoyno
A society to determine this. that, to me, has never happened. it s like, what is the truth here? she went to claim her name. to kind of get her name back. and i think it is really important. it s also interesting because it opens the door to those 25 other accusers. and it opens the door to defamation. this is a guy who has had a lot of things, about a lot of people very loudly. and a lot of it, we ve seen these people and up in really terrible situations. i do think that it will be interesting to see it. that s a very interesting point. this is a guy, obviously working a public facing job or obviously we get standard training, and one of the three cable networks just had the largest settlement of all-time. 100 million dollars. you can t just call people false things, particularly when they are not, when you are not punching up. you re not talking about a public figure.
