E. Jean Carroll notched another legal victory against former President Trump on Wednesday, reports CNBC, with a federal judge ruling that Trump is liable in her defamation case against him. “The jury found that Mr. Trump knew that his statement that Ms. Carroll lied about him sexually assaulting her for improper and ulterior purposes was false or that he acted with reckless disregard to whether it was false. Whether Mr. Trump made the 2019 statements with actual malice raises the same issue,” said US District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan in a statement.
