Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million in damages for repeatedly defaming her, a jury found Friday.

The nine-person jury began deliberations in federal court in New York at 1:40 p.m. ET and reached a verdict in just under three hours.

    That’s the beauty, his own sworn evidence that he brought in during the NY trial.
    This is where worlds collide, especially if the NY judge orders the dissolution of the companies in NY, all assets will need to be moved, I bet ms Carrol’s’ lawyers will be standing by the sideline to make sure she gets paid.

        Enlightened Self-interest.

        Funny thing would be that if he now claims he cannot pay, he automatically admits perjury in the other trial.
