A jury said former President Trump should pay $83.3 million in damages to E. Jean Carroll, who said the decision is a "huge defeat for every bully who has tried to keep a woman down." The trial centered around Trump’s 2019 comments about Carroll, who last year won a civil verdict over her claim Trump sexually assaulted her in the mid-1990s and then said he defamed her when he denied the accusation. Roberta Kaplan is Carroll’s attorney. She tells Anderson Cooper how her client is feeling after the jury’s decision. Plus, Jessica Leeds swore under oath at the first E. Jean Carroll trial that the former president sexually assaulted her in the 1970s. He denies the claim. She joins AC360 to react to the outcome of this trial.
