E. Jean Carroll praised her legal team and called the jury’s decision “a huge defeat” for anyone who has tried to keep down women.
“This is a great victory for every woman who stands up when she’s been knocked down, and a huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down,” Carroll said in the statement Friday evening.
Carroll’s attorney, Robbie Kaplan, called the decision proof that the rule of law applies to everyone.
“Today’s verdict proves that the law applies to everyone in our country, even the rich, even the famous, even former presidents,” Kaplan said in a statement.
“There is a way to stand up to someone like Donald Trump, who cares more about wealth, fame and power than respecting the law,” Kaplan added. “Standing up to a bully takes courage and bravery; it takes someone like E. Jean Carroll. We thank the jury for standing up for E. Jean and the rule of law.”

NY changed their laws specifically to allow Jean Carroll to sue Trump
She has no evidence he assaulted her
He never even met her
But when he proclaimed his innocence, she sued him & won $80+ million dollars
The machine is trying to stop Trump at all costs
But it won’t work pic.twitter.com/tBPIqzgBWn
