00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 Donald Trump lost his counterclaim for defamation against E. Jean Carroll, a writer who accused
00:07 him of sexual abuse and defamation.
00:09 Judge Louis A. Kaplan in New York dismissed Trump's counterclaim, stating that Carroll's
00:14 allegation of rape against Trump was substantially true.
00:18 Carroll had accused Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s in a New York department store,
00:22 adding to the allegations made by other women during Trump's career in real estate and
00:27 entertainment.
00:28 Kaplan provided an unsparing analyst that upheld the New York verdict and disallowed
00:32 some of Trump's defenses, including claiming absolute presidential immunity for remarks
00:36 made while in office.
00:38 Trump already faces 78 criminal indictments for various charges, including election supervision
00:43 and hush money payments to a porn star.
00:46 Despite the legal troubles, he still enjoys significant leads in polling for the Republican
00:50 presidential nomination.
