"Assessing the Impact of Trump's Trial in E. Jean Carroll Defamation Case"
A professor testified in a federal jury trial that it could cost up to $12.1 million to repair the reputational damage caused to writer E. Jean Carroll by former President Donald Trump's defamatory statements. The professor quantified the harm to Carroll's reputation by analyzing media coverage and concluded that the damage was "severe." Carroll also completed more than a day of testimony, during which she stated that she is now more well-known but also hated by more people. The trial is determining the damages Carroll should be awarded for Trump's defamatory statements.
