The former president’s estranged niece applauded a jury ordering her uncle to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll.
Former President Donald Trump’s estranged niece Mary Trump on Friday celebrated the verdict in a defamation lawsuit that orders her uncle to pay E. Jean Carroll tens of millions of dollars in damages.
Mary Trump, a writer and prominent critic of her uncle, told her followers on X, formerly Twitter, to “take a minute to celebrate—we’ve all earned it. Drink Responsibly.”
Her message came after a federal jury in New York City ordered the former president to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll, who accused him of defaming her reputation as a journalist by denying he raped her nearly three decades ago.
Carroll claims Trump forcibly groped and then raped her in a Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s.
