E Jean Carroll , a former Elle magazine advice columnist, claimed Trump sexually assaulted her in a department-store dressing room in the 1990s .
The court found that Trump had defamed her by strenuously denying it.
It is hard not to escape the conclusion that this wasn’t exactly a fair trial.
It was a civil trial, so Carroll didn't have to prove her allegations beyond reasonable doubt’. She only had to prove that they are more likely to be true than false.
E Jean Carroll has been making a spectacle of herself in the trials against Trump .
The judge presiding over her defamation case even threatened Trump ’s lawyer, Alina Habba , with jail.
Meanwhile, in a separate case, a Democratic judge is weighing up what penalty to impose on Trump 's business empire.
