YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Manhattan jury on Tuesday sided with the writer E. Jean Carroll in her civil case against former President Donald Trump, finding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, and awarding her $5 million in damages. The jury did not find that Trump had raped her, as she has claimed. Trump says he will appeal. The closely watched trial stemmed from an incident in the 1990s, when Carroll says Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in New York. "Today, the world finally knows the truth," Carroll said in a statement, reacting to the verdict. "This victory is not just for me but for every woman who has suffered because she was not believed." We speak with columnist Moira Donegan, who covers gender and politics for _The Guardian_ and who calls it "a really significant moment for American women, and specifically for the #MeToo movement."
