A jury has rejected a writer's claim that Donald Trump raped her, but found him liable for battery in the 1996 attack.

The jury awarded E. Jean Carroll at least $2 million.


Earlier, US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan read instructions on the law to the nine-person jury before the panel began discussing Carroll's allegations of battery and defamation shortly before noon.
