Donald Trump has been found liable of sexual assault, but not rape, in the Jean Carroll suit, per Reuters.

The jury awarded her $5 million in damages for her battery and defamation claims.

Asked on its verdict sheet whether Carroll, 79, had proven “by a preponderance of the evidence” that “Mr. Trump raped Ms. Carroll,” the nine-person jury checked the box that said “no.”

The jury deliberated for about three hours. It awarded Carroll just over $2 million on the battery claim and just under $3 million on the defamation claims.

Donald Trump said: "I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHO THIS WOMAN IS. THIS VERDICT IS A DISGRACE — A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME!"

A Trump campaign spokesman said in a statement, "Make no mistake, this entire bogus case is a political endeavor targeting President Trump because he is now an overwhelming front-runner to be once again elected President of the United States."

"This case will be appealed, and we will ultimately win," the statement said.
