The jury, comprising six men and three women, awarded Carroll a sum of at least $2 million.
Trump did not testify during the trial, but he was deposed on camera in October.
However, Joe Tacopina, Trump’s lawyer, told the jury in closing arguments Monday that Carroll’s story is too far-fetched to be believed.
He claimed that she made it up to fuel sales of her 2019 memoir, and that she wanted to disparage Trump for political reasons.
