President Donald Trump has been found liable in a New York civil court for sexual abuse against a magazine columnist in the 1990s.
However, the jury rejected E Jean Carroll's claim of rape against Mr Trump.
Ms Carroll was awarded at least $5 million (around £4 million) for the 1996 sexual abuse the jury found Trump liable for.
The verdict was announced in a federal courtroom in New York City just a few hours after the jury started deliberating.
The jury also found Donald Trump guilty of defamation because of an October 2022 post in which he called her allegations a "con job".
