A jury found Donald Trump liable Tuesday for sexually abusing advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996, awarding her $5 million in a judgment that could haunt the former president as he campaigns to regain the White House. The verdict comes as Trump faces an accelerating swirl of legal risks. He’s fighting a New York criminal case related to hush money payments made to a porn actor. The state attorney general has sued him, his family and his business over alleged financial wrongdoing. Trump is also contending with investigations into his possible mishandling of classified documents, his actions after the 2020 election and his activities during the insurrection at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump denies wrongdoing in all of those matters. Lara Brown, Political Scientist and Writer, speaks to FRANCE 24’s François Picard about the political significance of Trump’s conviction, and whether women will still vote for Trump, stating that the "cumulative damage will make him an impaired presidential candidate."
