Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Donald Trump found liable for sex abuse and defamation in civil trial
thefader.comA federal jury in Manhattan has found former President Donald Trump liable in the sexual abuse and defamation civil trial brought by writer E.
Jean Carroll. Carroll alleged that Trump raped her in a department store fitting room in 1996. Trump has been ordered to pay $2 million for Carroll’s civil battery claim in addition to $3 million for her claim of defamation — as the case is civil, he will not face jail time or any other legally imposed penalties.
Beginning on April 25, the trial saw Carroll take the stand over the course of seven days of testimony. Carroll alleged that she encountered Trump at the department store Bergdorf Goodman in 1996 and, at his request, joined him to help purchase a present.
During that encounter, Carroll said that Trump pushed her into a dressing room and raped her. (The jury did not find Trump liable for rape.) Carroll told friends what happened soon afterward, with two of them testifying during the trial, but did not speak publically about her experience until 2019.
