Trump trial verdict - Canada expels Chinese diplomat - Earlier breast cancer screenings

Source: Truth Social

1. Summary
   A jury in the civil trial of former President Donald Trump found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll. Carroll had accused Trump of raping her in 1996, and of defaming her by denying her allegation in late 2022. The jury did not find Trump liable for rape.
   
   Trump could not be criminally prosecuted for rape because of the statute of limitations, but a unique and recent New York law allowed sexual abuse survivors to file civil lawsuits past the statute of limitations. Carroll's team brought two witnesses who testified that Carroll confided in them after the incident, as well as two other women who said they were groped by Trump. Trump did not appear for the trial.
   
   The nine jurors had to consider if Carroll's claims were supported by the "preponderance of the evidence," a lower standard than in a criminal trial. The verdicts had to be unanimous. Trump attorney Joseph Tacopina said the verdict will be appealed, noting that an earlier decision made in a previous defamation case by Carroll was later overturned.
