00:02 A US judge ruled that Donald Trump is liable for defamatory statements he made about writer
00:06 E. Jean Carroll in 2019 when she publicly accused him of raping her in the 1990s.
00:11 In May of 2022, a jury previously found that Trump had sexually assaulted Carroll in the
00:15 90s and defamed her in 2019 comments denying the allegations.
00:19 Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages.
00:22 The current lawsuit is about statements Trump made as president in response to Carroll's
00:26 claims.
00:27 The case is scheduled for January 15th of 2023.
00:30 Carroll first publicly accused Trump of raping her in a New York department store in the
