DLNews Breaking News:

In a sensational twist worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster, former US President Donald Trump, at the spry age of 77, has been ordered to fork over a jaw-dropping $83.3 million (that's about 77 million euros for those across the pond) to journalist E. Jean Carroll, aged 80. This ruling is the cherry on top of their ongoing legal tussle, making it a double whammy for Trump!

Carroll, seemingly not one to back down, dragged Trump to court for defamation, not once but twice, and guess what? She's hit the jackpot again! The backstory? It all unfurled in the swanky confines of a New York luxury department store dressing room back in 1996, where Trump allegedly crossed the line with Carroll. Fast forward to when he publicly branded her a fibber and denied even knowing her. Talk about adding insult to injury!

The first courtroom showdown in May 2023 saw Trump's wallet $5 million lighter after a jury found him guilty as charged. But Carroll swung for the fences in her second civil lawsuit, aiming higher, eyeing a cool ten million dollars. But, surprise, the jury, perhaps in a dramatic flair, decided to up the ante, ruling in her favor with a sum that's enough to make anyone's eyes water!

Before round two in the legal ring, Judge Lewis Kaplan declared Trump's later comments defamatory. So, the jury's job was simple: just put a price tag on Trump's words. And after a mere three-hour chinwag, they delivered their blockbuster verdict, as reported by the US media in unison.

The twist in the tale? In a move divergent from his previous no-show, Trump graced the second trial with his presence. And true to form, he stirred the pot with his commentary, almost getting him booted out by the judge.

In this high-stakes legal drama, Trump's sharp tongue has cost him a pretty penny, leaving us all wondering: What's the next episode in this courtroom saga? Stay tuned! 🎬🍿
