The verdict comes after a dramatic day in court that included the former president storming out of the courtroom during Carroll's closing argument.

Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

    It’s a civil case, unfortunately, so jail time was never an option. At the time the incident occurred, there was a five year statute of limitations, so Trump has never been charged criminally in the matter.

      There’s something truly gross about a civil case being the only recourse for a heinous crime.
